rat

Is anybody here aware of any TUI/CLI tools that bring UX patterns/ideas from other programs to the terminal? Examples: - bash/zsh/fish bring suggestions/autocompletion - fzf brings fuzzily-matching selections to the terminal, - https://github.com/ericfreese/rat brings the idea of "widgets" or "layouts", - https://github.com/mrnugget/fzz brings "preview as you type" I'm looking for more patterns like that, mainly to explore how to make them work in the terminal and see whether that actually has an impact on everyday actions people perform in the terminal many times per day. The goal is not to save time, but to reduce mental friction.

Same here, though I had been watching development of rat [1], which seemed, when it appeared here, to be an interesting generic way of making a suite of commands into a curses-based interface. Seems that development has stalled, though. [1] https://github.com/ericfreese/rat

I fixed it last night: https://github.com/ericfreese/rat/commit/73e4b90465
