Accept whole words in tmt try interactive session #3044

Open martinhoyer opened 3 months ago

martinhoyer commented 3 months ago

Users are expected to type single letters to select actions when --ask is used. This could be problematic, when user's terminal does not display bulk/underscore highlighting of the letters. It might be good to either start the action after key press, i.e. without Enter, or to accept users typing whole words, so for example: login instead of just l.

Is it time to find some cool and awesome library for this kind of thing? With command completion, colors, history, magic, unicorns and rainbows? Not that I have one in my sleeve, but… Unlike let’s say export, tmt try users might appreciate some bells and whistles.

No immediate idea, and I’m afraid EPEL would lack such a package, but I was wrong on that front before.

I tried that one, the result wasn’t pretty, but mostly thanks to tmt, and I tried it with whole tmt - might get better results if limited to just try.

I found https://github.com/prompt-toolkit/python-prompt-toolkit

I thought click itself (or adjacent plugin) had a functionality to behave like a TUI (terminal user interface). Or at least an example of how to implement one.

Edit: ah, no it was bubbletea (golang) that I was remembering, and another very similar one.
