Does Jline Support select-option based control on terminal

[vsaji]

Sorry, if this topic has been discussed here earlier.

I am working on picocli+jline project whereby I have a requirement to show a list of values and ask the user to select one of them and use that value further.

Something similar you see it in this gif. This is supported in nodejs based CLI app, but I am wondering if this can be achieved in JLine.

No, JLine does not have built-in support for select-option.

@vsaji, I have added in Example an implementation of select-option based control. Take a look if it could be useful in your project.

@mattirn I am also looking for a select option for jline. I've checked your example. Thank you for sharing your solution. However, it is difficult to use in real situation because jumping from one screen to another is not good. I think it is necessary to modify it at something like this

@PashaTurok take a look my pull request Upgrade JLine to 3.19.0 awegmann/consoleui#24, that's much better than the example I have added in JLine.
