CLI 'chat' app
The inspiration for this is the neat project gum (https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum) but I would deliver OS native apps vs. shell scripts.

I made a library for making user terminal input really really pretty!
Instantly reminded me of https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum. Maybe you can take inspiration from there (NodeJS so can't steal much code).

Is there a controller layout for Konsole? (The terminal application.)
Hey, this came to my mind a few times before but I never pursued it further, but now I'm wondering: Has anybody shared a button mapping to use Konsole and Bash more conveniently? A few things like more back a word or move forward a word and delete a word come to my mind which I use regularly on my desktops. The Deck as definitely enough buttons and with some clever invocations of gum you'd almost have a simplistic file manager at hand.

GIT GUI tool or command line?
Been writing scripts for a couple of workflows using gum. Loading stash based on branch name and rebasing feature branches. Mostly to learn more about git and play around with the underapprecated CLI front-end engineering/design.

Is there a bash select alternative in fish?
That said, no idea if there's a fish builtin that does this, but I use Gum for this sort of thing.

I'm looking for a cli tool that can create list prompts to ask questions and act on the responses

Here are the bindings for smenu-history, I found somewhere at the site:

I created a full POSIX sh menu.
I suggest a name change, so your smenu, isn't confused with this smenu, which is a totally different entity, can present the menus in columns, lines and tabular fashion, has hotkey support, and so much more, I don't know if it is POSIX compliant, but it can also be used with sh, and just not bash.
