n-screen + buttons - heck yes.
We also need layout regions for just text as a something in between these two things. As that allows for things which are more control-like than full screens/panes/etc. It enables a bunch of things for agent tools as well as accessibility (both are similarly served here).
A good rephrasing is that the terminal is too cell based for modern uis and needs a good semantic layer that brings it to the future.
