Can you add example code to your repo that better shows usage per example

[pageauc]

Example code to show better usage. I tried to show alternative options

#!/usr/bin/env python3
'''
Demonstration example for GitHub Project at
https://github.com/IngoHeimbach/simple-term-menu

This code only works in python3. Install per

    sudo pip3 install simple-term-menu

'''

Thank you very much, your example is added in 59162b31ac52cdc2b96f71984c38708826343920. :+1:

Thanks. Not sure if you want to include example as a file in repo so users can download, but your choice. I am thinking of creating a class for specialized reusable options similar to windows widgets. All could share the same user specified style.

yes_no_cancel Display a message to confirm something with choices

message_ok Display a message until user selects OK

Browse directory structure to select a file. I have a bash whiptail that does this. See https://github.com/pageauc/FileBrowser

Read a user supplied filename and browse file structure to save file.

Not sure if multi select options is possible but could make a modified version of simple_term_menu. Also options above would work better with horizontal menu picks option. Whiptail works ok with bash scripts but would like something similar that is python based. Also thinking about python2 support even though it is no longer supported. Just a thought.

I use bash whiptail in some of my projects to make user management easier through SSH or terminal session. Useful especially on headless systems.

Thanks for your project. Claude ...
