[Feature request] Accept on first character #256

Open rieje opened 2 years ago

rieje commented 2 years ago

Feature request: option --accept-char to accept on first character without pressing enter. I thought this feature would be niche but saw same features for similar applications that are used as a prompt, e.g. dmenu, zenity, etc.

A use case is to use it as a quick prompt to mark/focus windows in window managers vim-style where m is bound to a bemenu prompt that takes a character (m<char> to mark \` to focus).

Currently, one must m<char> ENTER and \ ENTER` which is inconvenient.
