The problem with TUI's, that we have all Stockholm syndrom'd ourselves, is that I can't use the mouse cursor to click to the position on the screen and edit the command line.

I’ve built textual tuis (as in the Python library) and it responds to clicks just fine.

It is possible. Terminals have supported mouse interactions for a long time.
