[Proposal] add multi pick menu #187

Closed cedvdb closed 2 years ago

cedvdb commented 2 years ago

This is a proposal for a multi pick menu. The firebase cli does it well, where you can use arrow keys and space to pick your options and enter to pick one.

I took a look at the menu implementation but it is still a bit unclear to me how to:

listen to arrow key presses
rerender the option list when such a key is pressed.

Dcli includes the dart_console package that support handling key presses.

The cli_menu package might have what you want:

cli_menu is not a multiselect but this one seems to have one:

which has a wide range of good looking command line "menus"
