Does P-P-T have a vertical list of choices akin to a dropdown?

Hi jonathanslenders!

Thank you for working on python-prompt-toolkit, it is a pretty nice tool!

I looked through the examples and could not find a specific kind of user input interface.

I was looking for something which would show a list of items vertically, a little bit like you would see them in a dropdown. The user would be able to traverse the list by pressing up and down.

If there is no such thing yet in python-prompt-toolkit, how could I work towards adding it in?

Thanks,

kovek

Hi @kovek,

Not yet. But I'm working on a 2.0 version of prompt_toolkit (see the 2.0 branch), which brings a lot of new features, and a big refactoring for full-screen applications. It contains examples like radio button lists, and dialog boxes. I take this as an example to add a vertical list of choices as well.

That said, it can easily take somewhere between 3 and 6 months before the first release of 2.0.
