That's not a CLI, that's a TUI. Eg, Dwarf Fortress does this.

How it’s not a CLI? There is a command line, you type in commands.

"Responds to individual keypresses" vs "responds to complete lines" is pretty much the defining feature of TUI vs CLI.

KEY_SLASH+MOD_SHIFT is a UI event, not a command.

If that were true, bash wouldn’t be a CLI, due to <TAB>.

What I’m describing is definitely a CLI. You type in commands, such as “show version”. It’s just a bit smarter about command completion and context help.
