Allow installation of mods in a yay-style interface

In yay, all the user has to do to install a package is type yay [package], then select one of the packages listed by typing its respective number.

For example:

yay minecraft

yields:

Notice: the first search result is displayed last, at the bottom.

In the current version of pacmc, users must first find the mod ID of the mod they are looking for with pacmc search [mod-name], then actually install it by running pacmc install [mod-id].

If users could simply install a mod in one step with something like pacmc get [mod-name], it would make pacmc much easier to use.

Is this already planned? I noticed the markup for the output of pacmc search does look very similar to yay's output.

In my opinion a pacmc get command which has this behavior would be a good thing to add - using the main pacmc command for that is something I don't want to decide on - at least not yet.
