Support checkbox
This is a tracking/discussion issue for supporting a checkbox style prompt. Such a prompt would allow the user to select more than one items from a list. The inspiration is the checkbox function from the Inquirer.js library:
This issue is for discussing such a feature and how to implement it.
After reviewing the checkbox function from Inquirer.js, I think it feels overengineered.
- It functions as a sort of looping list, where you can scroll up and down infinitely.
- There is support for "headlines", disabled list items which just serve to categorize the items
To keep things simple, I think we should get rid of those two, and keep our library relatively simple.
However, I'm curious if anyone else thinks differently? Is there a need for categorization? Would you often have a list of 10+ choices (which might justify the loopy scrolling behavior)?
I've started an implementation in #12.
Perhaps we need to support having some values enabled by default?
