Track typed value on Multiselect and Select

Let's take one example:

Now I will down to the next page which is already PR pending. But when I type rather than the default is null at that time we will introduce search!!.

select-prompt.mp4

Here is the real-world use case!! I pressed version 5 then it will highlight 5.

Answer 2 · 2023-09-19T16:59:54.000Z

When it's too large select the box rather than going down. It will become fast!!

Answer 3 · 2023-09-19T17:06:25.000Z

Something like this:

select-prompt.mp4

Hey @utsavsomaiya,

Thanks for the suggestion. This is something I've wanted to do from the beginning to make Prompts even more like web-based form inputs. I even thought that once you started typing letters, it could show a search field somewhere and then filter the list instead of just jumping to the first matching item, which would improve what the standard web-based form inputs do. I'm not sure where I would display the text input though as any increase in the prompt height can be jarring if the prompt is at the bottom of the terminal.

I'm also a little torn on how much we need it now that we have the search prompt and hopefully the multisearch prompt (#58), which are better for large lists.

This isn't a big priority for me at the moment, so it might be a while before I can look into it. I'm open to PRs as long as the UX feels right.

@jessarcher Can we add password reveal functionality on password prompt?

Answer 7 · 2023-09-20T10:33:18.000Z

@utsavsomaiya how would you propose it's toggled on and off?

Answer 8 · 2023-09-20T10:37:29.000Z

Get the key from the users or static any key. And when it's press it will be on ... next time it press it will be off.

Answer 9 · 2023-09-20T10:46:22.000Z

What key do you think would be a good default? And how would we let the user know the feature exists and how to toggle it?

I was thinking maybe an icon/button on the right (where the arrow currently appears on the suggest prompt), and you could press Tab to highlight it and Space to toggle it. Not sure, though.

Okay @jessarcher

I will make a PR. After you will suggest me. So its confirmed first with you. That's why we both understand the flow.

Thanks. ☺

I can't make any promises about it getting accepted - it's ultimately up to Taylor. But if you really want the feature then it's worth having a go 🙂
