Practically? The best keyboard-driven programs are (incidentally) TUIs.

For some reason, expressive keyboard-driven interfaces aren't as popular in GUI interfaces.

My issue with TUIs is the lack of a simple interaction model. Every tool invents its own navigation style like vim bindings, custom key combos, mouse-driven flows and there’s no common fallback. In GUIs, the mouse is always there if nothing else. Even basic things like tabbed navigation can become confusing in TUIs sometimes
