Feature Request: Add quick inline help in setup process

Open spotlesscoder opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Overview of the feature request

I want to know what certain options in the project setup wizard are meant to be used for.

Motivation for or Use Case

Updated to Jhipster 7.9.3 today and generated a new project. Recognized there is a new step "Use microfrontends (y/n)?" Though in this case it is quite obvious what this option is meant to be used for, a quick 2-3 sentence description with some keywords would give users a better idea of what to expect when enabling that option.

Currently, there are two available choices for most options in project generation: "yes (y)" or "no (n)". I would love to have add a third option "help (h)" added. When pressing h, the short description should appear. When then pressing ESC or q, the user should be returned to the selection (y/n)
