## What it is
A Vim/NeoVim plugin providing a Borland/Turbo C++ inspired TUI widget library: dropdown menubars, context menus, listboxes, and a data-driven dialog system, all in pure VimScript with no dependencies. It works on Vim 8.2+ and NeoVim 0.4+ with keyboard and mouse support.

## Use cases
- add a dropdown menubar to vim
- create context menus in neovim
- build dialogs and listboxes in vimscript
- remember vim keymaps with a visual menu
- terminal ui widgets for vim without python dependencies

## When to choose
- you want rich menus, dialogs, and popups in Vim or NeoVim without external dependencies
- you prefer keyboard-driven UI with optional mouse support
- you want a consistent widget experience across Vim and NeoVim

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI toolkit outside the terminal
- you use an editor other than Vim or NeoVim
- you only need simple built-in Vim menus

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: ui-components, terminal-ui, developer-tools
