either combine these 2 options into 1 or remove them both.

the most important options are imho:

package name and other packages with a similar name
package description
installation size of packages including all dependencies
dependencies these pieces of information can be obtained by "install package" and "dependency tree".

what do you prefer? remove them or combine them into 1 option?

I would combine them into one. I have been looking into how to combine the output list in a sane way. After sorting that we could use option recommended by papajoke.

Main thing I'm concerned with is whether it sees local custom packages. Using input list of option 5 gives all repo and aur packages. This would cover 97% of use cases, but it will not show any custom packages you made yourself, unless you uploade them to aur.
