Permit scrolling the results #37

Sometimes you want to use heatseeker to simply pick things from a list without specifically searching for one or two of them. One use case I just tried is:

brew outdated | awk '{print $1}' | hs | xargs brew upgrade

This task kinda needs to be done by looking through all the outdated packages and wondering if you want each one upgraded or not. But you can't do that -- scrolling in heatseeker just wraps around to the top, and you can only ever see one screenful of content. I felt pretty silly just now typing a... ^T^T, backspace, b... ^T^T^T. You could also reduce your font size to like 5px and increase the line count... but this is not ideal either.

I can also imagine it being difficult to narrow down lots of very similar results, i.e. more than a screenful of /home/me/projects/bitte/neverending/path/segments/file_a.txt.

I understand selecta does not scroll either, but aim high, why not.

I think this is worth a try.

I added a basic version of this feature in the most recent commit. I'd still like to add support for Home/End/PgUp/PgDown before releasing it.

This feature is now fully implemented in a6d052391c3328a0676075b30459b6777d407712 and bde64f1c5f5b62d3f32250ed2e5b37e513af871d. It will be included in release 1.7.0.
