CUI means Command User Interface where you only give command by typing and get response. GUI means Graphical user interface where you can use picture button as command by mouse, keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen to get response. According to your question in CUI also can use keyboard shortcut. so using shortcut key also a CUI feature.
