Key Bindings

This file lists all of the key bindings currently registered by prompts.

All prompts

These key bindings may be used with all prompts.

command	description
enter	Submit answer.
esc	Cancel the prompt*.
ctrl + c	Interrupt the prompt*.

* Canceling and interrupting a prompt have two different meanings. Canceling is defined specially for when the end user is allowed to skip a prompt, the library user can then use prompt_skippable which wraps the return type into an Option and catches the CanceledOperation error transforming it into a Ok(None) result. Interrupted operations are closer to "stop-the-world" operations, where the library user should treat them as termination commands.

Text Input

These key bindings may be used with all prompts that ask the user for text input: [Text], [Select], [MultiSelect], [Confirm], [CustomType] and [Password]. The [Editor] prompt is not included because it opens a separate text editor for text input.
