Xiki

xiki is a GUI-enhanced shell console that integrates graphical user interface components and an editable output buffer into a standard shell environment. It functions as an interactive command-line interface and CLI overlay, rendering graphical elements on top of a traditional character-based terminal grid.

The project serves as a custom shell command builder and menu system, allowing users to map shell commands to graphical menus and interactive shortcuts. This enables the creation of personalized workflows to launch and manage system tools through a visual interface.

The system transforms standard shell output into a modifiable buffer for direct text editing and augments the command line with interactive visual tools.
