1 Tangible user interface. This is not Tactile or Touch this starts as a early theory interface back in the days the first X11 protocol is being made where you modify something in the world and the computer responds to it. Think early light pen. Yes this is before touch interfaces of any form.
2 Text-based user interface that has a second valid name "Terminal User Interfaces" Yes again this is before any touch based interface/support fo the blind.
3 Touch user interface
4 Tactile User Interface there is a arguement if this is own thing or should be Tactile Touch User interface.
CLI=command-line interface when you are using something like nano or edit under dos the program its not a command line interface any more but its still Text based interface but you have menus and means to use arrow keys.... Please note Text-based user interface and Terminal User Interface is surprise to most people don't cover command line because where are you menus....
Please do note Text-based user interface
"TUI/command-line programs"
Now when I read I think the person was going for "Console User Interface." Console User Interface covers Text-based user interface applications and Command Line.
Rule one with something like TUI never use it without at least writing the long form at least once to give a context.
Yes there was a possible correction to Uncle H. but it was not what you were suggesting. Console User Interface or a recommendation to use the long form of TUI due to the multi meanings TUI has at least once and since his response only used it once using the long form should have been the case.
To you if you mean Tactile User Interface don't just write TUI without setting the context either same problem there are 4 possible correct answers to TUI like it or not.
