1. Text-based user interface
Technology & Computing · Computer Abbreviations
Interface drawn with text characters inside a terminal, offering menus, panels and keyboard navigation instead of a bare command prompt. Tools such as htop, Midnight Commander, the Vim editor and many Linux installers use one.
Example: The installer has a simple TUI, so you can pick disks with the arrow keys even without a desktop.
Also expanded as terminal user interface. A TUI sits between a CLI and a GUI: it is interactive and visual, yet it runs over SSH and needs no graphics system. Libraries such as ncurses for C, Textual for Python and Bubble Tea for Go are used to build them, and the style has had a revival among developer tools.
2. TUI Group (originally Touristik Union International)
Organizations & Companies · Company and Brand Abbreviations
German-British travel and tourism company, one of the largest in the world, operating package holidays, airlines, hotels and cruise ships. Headquartered in Hanover, Germany.
