Description: # Simple Terminal Menu
        
        ## Overview
        
        `simple-term-menu` creates simple menus for interactive command line programs. It can be used to offer a choice of
        different options to the user. Menu entries can be selected with the arrow, j/k, or emacs (C-n/C-p) keys. The module
        uses the terminfo database to detect terminal features automatically and disables styles that are not available.
        Currently, Linux and macOS are supported.
        
        ## Breaking changes
        
        ### From version 0.x to 1.x
        
        If you update from version 0.x to 1.x, please consider these breaking changes:
        
        - The `TerminalMenu` constructor now only takes keyword-only arguments (except for the first parameter which contains
          the menu entries). This makes it easier to add new parameters in future releases and allows to keep a well-arranged
          parameter list.
        
        - The command line interface was revised. It now uses `-` instead of `_` to separate words consistently and rearranges
          short options. Only the most important short options were kept to save free letters for future releases.
        
        ### From version 1.1 to 1.2
        
        - The `multi_select_key` parameter is now named `multi_select_keys` and takes an iterable of keys and by default `space`
          and`tab` are now used as multi-select keys. This allows to toggle selected items in search mode.
        
        - The `shortcut_parentheses_highlight_style` parameter is renamed to `shortcut_brackets_highlight_style` to be more
          consistent with the new `multi_select_cursor_brackets_style` parameter.
        
        ## Installation
        
        `simple-term-menu` is available on PyPI for Python 3.5+ and can be installed with `pip`:
        
        ```bash
        python3 -m pip install simple-term-menu
        ```
        
        If you use Arch Linux or one of its derivatives, you can also install `simple-term-menu` from the
        [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-simple-term-menu/):
        
        ```bash
        yay -S python-simple-term-menu
        ```
        
        You also find self-contained executables for 64-bit Linux distributions and macOS High Sierra and newer on the
        [releases page](https://github.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/releases/latest). They are created with
        [PyInstaller](http://www.pyinstaller.org) and only require glibc >= 2.28 on Linux (should be fine on any recent
        Linux system).
        
        ## Usage
        
        ### Create a menu with the default style
        
        Create an instance of the class `TerminalMenu` and pass the menu entries as a list of strings to the constructor. Call
        the `show` method to output the menu and wait for keyboard input:
        
        ```python
        #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
        from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        def main():
            options = ["entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3"]
            terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(options)
            menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
            print(f"You have selected {options[menu_entry_index]}!")
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()
        ```
        
        You will get an output like:
        
        ![screenshot_basic](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/basic.png)
        
        You can now select a menu entry with the arrow keys or `j`/`k` (vim motions) and accept your choice by hitting enter or
        cancel the menu with escape, `q` or `<Ctrl>-C`. `show` returns the selected menu entry index or `None` if the menu was
        canceled.
        
        Long menus can be scrolled quickly with the page up and page down keys (or `<Ctrl>-f` / `<Ctrl-b>` for vim users).
        
        You can pass an optional `title` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor which will be placed above the menu. `title` can be a
        simple string, a multiline string (with `\n` newlines) or a list of strings. The same applies to the `status_bar`
        parameter, which places a status bar below the menu. Moreover, you can use a callable as `status_bar` parameter which
        takes the currently selected entry and returns a status bar string.
        
        ### Styling
        
        You can pass styling arguments to the `TerminalMenu` constructor. Each style is a tuple of keyword strings. Currently
        the following keywords are accepted:
        
        - `bg_black`
        - `bg_blue`
        - `bg_cyan`
        - `bg_gray`
        - `bg_green`
        - `bg_purple`
        - `bg_red`
        - `bg_yellow`
        - `fg_black`
        - `fg_blue`
        - `fg_cyan`
        - `fg_gray`
        - `fg_green`
        - `fg_purple`
        - `fg_red`
        - `fg_yellow`
        - `bold`
        - `italics`
        - `standout`
        - `underline`
        
        You can alter the following styles:
        
        - `menu_cursor_style`: The style of the shown cursor. The default style is `("fg_red", "bold")`.
        
        - `menu_highlight_style`: The style of the selected menu entry. The default style is `("standout",)`.
        
        - `search_highlight_style`: The style of matched search strings. The default style is `("fg_black", "bg_yellow",
          "bold")`.
        
        - `shortcut_key_highlight_style`: The style of shortcut keys. The default style is `("fg_blue",)`.
        
        - `shortcut_brackets_highlight_style`: The style of brackets enclosing shortcut keys. The default style is
          `("fg_gray",)`.
        
        - `status_bar_style`: The style of the status bar below the menu. The default style is `("fg_yellow", "bg_black")`.
        
        - `multi_select_cursor_style`: The style of the cursor which pins a selected entry in a multi-selection. The default
          style is `("fg_yellow", "bold")`. This style excludes brackets (see below).
        
        - `multi_select_cursor_brackets_style`: The style of brackets in the `multi_select_cursor` (`([{<)]}>`). The default
          style is `("fg_gray",)`.
        
        By setting `menu_cursor` you can define another cursor or disable it (`None`). The default cursor is `"> "`.
        The parameter `multi_select_cursor` customizes the multi-select cursor (the default is `"[*] "`).
        
        ### Searching
        
        `simple_term_menu` has a built-in search feature to filter shown menu entries. The default key to activate search mode
        is `/` (like in Vim, less and other terminal programs). If you prefer another search key, pass a `search_key` parameter
        to the `TerminalMenu` constructor. `None` can be passed to activate the search on every letter key. Obviously, `j` and
        `k` cannot be used for cursor motions in that mode. Use `<Ctrl-j>` and `<Ctrl-k>` instead.
        
        The search mode supports Python regex syntax. Visit the
        [Python re documentation](https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#regular-expression-syntax) for more details.
        
        String parts of the menu entries which match the given search pattern are highlighted. Use the `search_highlight_style`
        parameter to adjust the highlight style to your liking.
        
        By default, the search is case insensitive. Set `search_case_sensitive` to `True` if you prefer a case sensitive search
        line.
        
        Pass `show_search_hint=True` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor to activate a search hint in the search line (like
        `(Press "/" to search)`).
        
        ### Shortcuts
        
        You can define shortcuts for selected menu entries by prepending a single character enclosed in square brackets (like
        `[a]`). Pass `shortcut_key_highlight_style` and/or `shortcut_brackets_highlight_style` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor
        to change the default highlight style of the shortcuts.
        
        By default, the `show` method returns when a shortcut key is pressed. If you only want the selection to jump the
        shortcut target, pass `exit_on_shortcut=False` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor.
        
        If you configured the search to be activated on every letter key, the shortcut feature will be disabled.
        
        Pass `show_shortcut_hints=True` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor to display shortcut hints in the status bar (useful
        for very long menus which need scrolling). Additionally pass `show_shortcut_hints_in_status_bar=False` if you prefer
        shortcut hints in the menu title.
        
        #### Shortcuts example
        
        Create a menu of some fruits and use the first letter as shortcut key:
        
        ```python
        #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
        import os
        from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
        def main():
            fruits = ["[a] apple", "[b] banana", "[o] orange"]
            terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(fruits, title="Fruits")
            menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
        
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()
        ```
        
        ![screenshot_shortcuts](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/shortcuts.png)
        
        ### Custom accept keys
        
        The default key to accept a menu item is `enter`. Pass the `accept_keys` parameter with a tuple of keys (as strings) to
        the `TerminalMenu` constructor to use a different set of accept keys. Custom accept keys can be plain ascii letters or
        ascii letters with a modifier key (prepend `ctrl-` or `alt-` to an ascii letter). Use the `chosen_accept_key` property
        of the `TerminalMenu` instance to query which accept key was pressed by the user.
        
        Be aware that not all combinations of modifier and ascii keys will work depending on your terminal emulator and
        graphical user interface. In addition, some combinations generate other existing keys (e.g. `ctrl-m` is `enter` /
        carriage return).
        
        #### Custom accept keys example
        
        ```python
        #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
        from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
        def main():
            terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(["entry 1", "entry 2", "entry 3"], accept_keys=("enter", "alt-d", "ctrl-i"))
            menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
            print(terminal_menu.chosen_accept_key)
        
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()
        ```
        
        ### Multi-select
        
        Pass `multi_select=True` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor to enable the multi-select mode. Press `space` or `tab` on an
        arbitrary menu item to add it to your selection. Press `enter` (or any other configured `accept_key`) to add the
        currently selected entry as the last item to the selection and to return from the `show` method as usual. In
        multi-select mode, the `show` method returns a sorted tuple of all your selected menu indices instead of a single int.
        Use the `chosen_menu_entries` property to get a tuple of the menu entry strings instead. By setting `multi_select_keys`
        you can define another set of keys to toggle a selected item. By passing `show_multi_select_hint=True` a multi-select
        mode hint is shown in the status bar. If you don't want the `accept_key` to also select the last highlighted item you
        can pass `multi_select_select_on_accept=False`. If no menu item is explicitly selected, the last highlighted menu item
        will still be added to the selection unless you also pass `multi_select_empty_ok=True`.
        
        An optional list (or any other iterable object) `preselected_entries` can also be passed to have items already selected
        when the menu is displayed.  This list can be composed of either integers representing indexes of the `menu_entries`
        list, or strings matching the elements of `menu_entries`. Integers and strings can be mixed.
        
        #### Multi-select example
        
        ```python
        #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
        from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
        def main():
            terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(
                ["dog", "cat", "mouse", "squirrel"],
                multi_select=True,
                show_multi_select_hint=True,
            )
            menu_entry_indices = terminal_menu.show()
            print(menu_entry_indices)
            print(terminal_menu.chosen_menu_entries)
        
        
        if __name__ == "__main__":
            main()
        ```
        
        ![screenshot_multi_select](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/multi_select.png)
        
        ### Preview window
        
        `simple-term-menu` can show a preview for each menu entry. Pass a `preview_command` to the `TerminalMenu` constructor to
        activate this optional feature. `preview_command` either takes a command string which will be executed as a subprocess
        or a Python callable which converts a given menu entry string into the preview output. If a command string is given, the
        pattern `{}` is replaced with the current menu entry string. If a menu entry has an additional data component (separated
        by `|`), it is passed instead to the preview command. `\|` can be used for a literal `|`. If you simply append a `|`
        (without a data component), the preview window will be disabled for this entry.
        
        The additional keyword argument `preview_size` can be used to control the height of the preview window. It is given as
        fraction of the complete terminal height (default: `0.25`). The width cannot be set, it is always the complete width of
        the terminal window.
        
        Pass `preview_title` with a string of your choice to customize the preview window title (default: `"preview"`) or
        `preview_border=False` to deactivate the border around the preview window (also deactivates the title string).
        
        Preview commands are allowed to generate [ANSI escape color codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#SGR).
        
        #### Preview examples
        
        - Create a menu for all files in the current directory and preview their contents with the
          [`bat`](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) command:
        
          ```python
          #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
          import os
          from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
          def list_files(directory="."):
              return (file for file in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, file)))
        
        
          def main():
              terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(list_files(), preview_command="bat --color=always {}", preview_size=0.75)
              menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
        
        
          if __name__ == "__main__":
              main()
          ```
        
          ![screenshot_preview_bat](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/preview_bat.png)
        
        - Another file preview example using the [Pygments](https://pygments.org) api:
        
          ```python
          #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
          import os
          from pygments import formatters, highlight, lexers
          from pygments.util import ClassNotFound
          from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
          def highlight_file(filepath):
              with open(filepath, "r") as f:
                  file_content = f.read()
              try:
                  lexer = lexers.get_lexer_for_filename(filepath, stripnl=False, stripall=False)
              except ClassNotFound:
                  lexer = lexers.get_lexer_by_name("text", stripnl=False, stripall=False)
              formatter = formatters.TerminalFormatter(bg="dark")  # dark or light
              highlighted_file_content = highlight(file_content, lexer, formatter)
              return highlighted_file_content
        
        
          def list_files(directory="."):
              return (file for file in os.listdir(directory) if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(directory, file)))
        
        
          def main():
              terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(list_files(), preview_command=highlight_file, preview_size=0.75)
              menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
        
        
          if __name__ == "__main__":
              main()
          ```
        
          ![screenshot_preview_pygments](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/preview_pygments.png)
        
        - Preview the active pane of each running tmux session (the session ids are appended to the menu entries with the `|`
          separator):
        
          ```python
          #!/usr/bin/env python3
        
          import subprocess
          from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        
          def list_tmux_sessions():
              tmux_command_output = subprocess.check_output(
                  ["tmux", "list-sessions", "-F#{session_id}:#{session_name}"], universal_newlines=True
              )
              tmux_sessions = []
              for line in tmux_command_output.split("\n"):
                  line = line.strip()
                  if not line:
                      continue
                  session_id, session_name = tuple(line.split(":"))
                  tmux_sessions.append((session_name, session_id))
              return tmux_sessions
        
        
          def main():
              terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(
                  ("|".join(session) for session in list_tmux_sessions()),
                  preview_command="tmux capture-pane -e -p -t {}",
                  preview_size=0.75,
              )
              menu_entry_index = terminal_menu.show()
        
        
          if __name__ == "__main__":
              main()
          ```
        
          ![screenshot_preview_tmux_sessions](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/IngoMeyer441/simple-term-menu/master/preview_tmux_sessions.png)
        
        ### Skipping empty entries
        
        Use the constructor parameter `skip_empty_entries` or the flag `--skip-empty-entries` to interpret an empty string value
        in the menu entries as an empty menu entry (will be skipped when iterating over the entries). A `None` value is always
        considered as an empty menu entry independently from the `skip_empty_entries` parameter.
        
        ```python
        from simple_term_menu import TerminalMenu
        
        def main():                                                         # Or use `None` instead of `""`:
            options = ["entry 1", "entry 2", "", "add", "edit"]             # ["entry 1", "entry 2", None, "add", "edit"]
            terminal_menu = TerminalMenu(options, skip_empty_entries=True)  # TerminalMenu(options)

        ### Localization / Text modification
        
        Use the constructor parameters
        
        - `show_search_hint_text` and
        - `show_multi_select_hint_text`
        
        to modify the corresponding texts. Use the placeholder `{key}` for the search key in `show_search_hint_text` and both
        `{accept_keys}` and `{multi_select_keys}` in `show_multi_select_hint_text` if appropriately.
        
        ### Additional settings
        
        Furthermore, the `TerminalMenu` constructor takes these additional parameters to change the menu behavior:
        
        - `clear_menu_on_exit`: A bool value which indicates if the menu will be cleared after the `show` method. Defaults to
          `True`.
        - `clear_screen`: A bool value which indicates if the screen will be cleared before the menu is shown. Defaults to
          `False`.
        - `cursor_index`: The initially selected item index.
        - `cycle_cursor`: A bool value which indicates if the menu cursor cycles when the end of the menu is reached. Defaults
          to `True`.
        - `quit_keys`: An iterable of keys which quit the terminal menu. Defaults to `("escape", "q")`.
        - `raise_error_on_interrupt`: Set this to `True` to reraise Keyboard interrupts (by pressing `<Ctrl-c>`). Defaults to
          `False`.
        - `status_bar_below_preview`: Position the status bar below the preview window (default positioning is above).
        
        ### Command line program
        
        `simple-term-menu` can be used as a terminal program in shell scripts. The exit code of the script is the 1-based index
        of the selected menu entry. The exit code 0 reports the cancel action. The following command line arguments are
        supported:

        #### Example with preview option
        
        Instead of using the Python api as in the [previous examples](#preview-examples), a file menu with `bat` preview can
        also be created from the command line:
        
        ```bash
        simple-term-menu -p "bat --color=always {}" \
                         --preview-size 0.75 \
                         $(find . -maxdepth 1  -type f | awk '{ print substr($0, 3) }')
        ```
