Of tools that mash interactive GUIs (lazygit) with scriptable shells (git fuzzy), I only know of AutoCAD. Scripts would routinely ask you to interactively select a set of points or an item in a list.

Are there other apps that offer scriptable GUIs ?

Isn't this the essence of "plugins" in most GUI apps?

I vaguely remember doing similar things with Matlab, but it has been a while and I don't recollect fully.

Emacs (which, incidentally, uses a lisp for scripting, like autocad).
