Suggestion: use fzf for interactive selection #329

Description

@pacien

Suggestion:

Khard displays some interacting prompt when a search query yields multiple
choices for example.

The current prompt has a bunch of UX issues, such as:

  • showing too many lines or columns, overflowing the terminal window,
  • relying on copying some numeric index manually,
  • not being searchable.

I think this prompt could instead leverage fzf, an interactive fuzzy finder
prompt (or a similar alternative). Some Python bindings exist.

It looks like this:

Related issues:

Someone worked on a wrapper script using fzf as the selection prompt some years
ago. Though I think it would be nicer to have it by default.
