thanks! i meant 'cursor-addressing', to avoid the ambiguous term 'tui', which usually (and per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text-based_user_interface) means cursor-addressing, but nominally also includes actual text-based user interfaces, as seen in e.g. the traditional unix utilities.

I've always seen CLI used for unix style utilities and TUI used for cursor-addressing/ncurses style interfaces fwiw.

You still didnt define what "cursor addressing" means. Its not a common term to use for these UIs and doesnt seem to get to the crux of what separates a typical GUI from these.

For me, the crucial difference is that they're usable over ssh and tmux, not the type of cursor they have (if any).
