A TUI in pure shell script?? I read the script and don't even see how it's done.

You can make TUIs in bash if you use stty to set the terminal to raw mode. I'd recommend any other language than shell scripting though..
fzf [1] provides the TUI.

Ah of course. I even use that. Just didn't look closely enough.
