Long lists issue

[mostafahussein]

I have an issue with pick while passing a long list, here is an example you can try it:

from pick import pick

title = 'Select: '
options = ['foo.bar1.baz', 'foo.bar2.baz', 'foo.bar3.baz', 'foo.bar4.baz', 'foo.bar5.baz', 'foo.bar6.baz', 'foo.bar7.baz','foo.bar8.baz', 'foo.bar9.baz', 'foo.bar10.baz','foo.bar11.baz', 'foo.bar12.baz', 'foo.bar13.baz', 'foo.bar14.baz', 'foo.bar15.baz', 'foo.bar16.baz', 'foo.bar17.baz','foo.bar18.baz', 'foo.bar19.baz', 'foo.bar20.baz','foo.bar21.baz', 'foo.bar22.baz', 'foo.bar23.baz', 'foo.bar24.baz', 'foo.bar25.baz', 'foo.bar26.baz', 'foo.bar27.baz','foo.bar28.baz', 'foo.bar29.baz', 'foo.bar30.baz','foo.bar31.baz', 'foo.bar32.baz', 'foo.bar33.baz', 'foo.bar34.baz', 'foo.bar35.baz', 'foo.bar36.baz', 'foo.bar37.baz','foo.bar38.baz', 'foo.bar39.baz', 'foo.bar40.baz','foo.bar41.baz', 'foo.bar42.baz', 'foo.bar43.baz', 'foo.bar44.baz', 'foo.bar45.baz', 'foo.bar46.baz', 'foo.bar47.baz','foo.bar48.baz', 'foo.bar49.baz', 'foo.bar50.baz','foo.bar51.baz', 'foo.bar52.baz', 'foo.bar53.baz', 'foo.bar54.baz', 'foo.bar55.baz', 'foo.bar56.baz', 'foo.bar57.baz','foo.bar58.baz', 'foo.bar59.baz', 'foo.bar60.baz']
option, index = pick(options, title)

the result will be:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pick_test.py", line 5, in <module>
    option, index = pick(options, title)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pick/__init__.py", line 109, in pick
    return picker.start()

@mostafahussein I've fixed this issue, plz upgrade to 0.4.0 and try again

[mostafahussein]

@wong2 it works correctly, thanks !
Is there anyway to highlight the current selection ?!

[wong2]

@mostafahussein you mean highlight the whole line with a background color?

[mostafahussein]

i am not sure if highlighting the text itself or highlighting the background of a line would be better and easier to read
