dialoguer VS skim

You'd want to build it yourself using a mixture of something like inquire or dialoguer and a spinner library like the one I linked or indicatif.

Thanks for sharing! How's its different from dialoguer? From readme it seems like the API is more complex in promkit, and you're using custom types for e.g. select prompt where dialoguer accepts anything that implements the Display trait.

maybe: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/dialoguer

I am currently using dialoguer as well. Only feature I could ask for (that is in its scope) is searching during selections.

Frenco here. I just released this library I've been working on this week. Interact is a library similar to inquirer.js if you're coming from NodeJS background and dialouger if you're coming from Rust. It exposes many interactive and customizable components to be used in command-line user interfaces. It is something I wish I could find as a Dart library, and because I couldn't I have built this myself.

I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.

You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.

fzf skim

Agreed, but use skim instead
