All of these issues are from today.

    For the record, TUI applications can definitely do a good job of replacing GUI applications. It is not inherent to the terminal that it can’t.

      Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought it was inherent to the terminal that you can’t position the cursor and select text using the mouse, and also inherent that there are not right-click menus.

      If you don’t want to use a mouse in your code editor that’s a valid preference, but these are very different styles of programs and exist in separate categories. Personally I was using Atom before I was using VSCodium, and I really like most design choices of the latter, it’s basically everything I always wanted an IDE to be like. Don’t want to stop using the mouse.

        You don’t need a GUI to use a mouse, we could even use a mouse in command line MS-DOS

          Well ok my mistake, it’s just that literally all the command line text editors I’ve tried, the mouse does nothing by default and people act like you’re not supposed to use it, it’s just not a core part of how the software is designed to be used
