Allow arbitrary input while suggesting options
The select()
method returns -1
if the user input is not in options
.
Currently it does not permit to recover the original input and does not allow to use rofi as a free text prompt while providing input suggestions (I may be wrong, if so please correct me :grin: ).
It may be useful to allow arbitrary user inputs while providing optional default values. I thought of 2 ways of doing it :
- The
text_entry()
method could support optional argoptions
(default=[] to ensure backward compatibility). - Creating a new method
select_flex()
returningindex, key, user_input
oruser_input, key
I can submit a PR if you tell me what way suits you.
PS : thanks for the module, it made my day.
If you're still active, could you tell me if/how you did this? my current project requires exactly this
