Select filter on startup

[PJGaetan]

I am looking into Select, and right now by default, filtering is false on startup.

return &Select[T]{
	options:   []Option[T]{},
	value:     new(T),
	validate:  func(T) error { return nil },
	filtering: false,
	filter:    filter,
	theme:     ThemeCharm(),
}

I'm trying to get a user experience where the select is a filter mode when Run starts.

I wonder if there is a way to do so already, but I did not find how to override the filtering parameter before rendering the prompt.

I have in mind something like this, to a stay in line with what exist already.

func (s *Select[T]) Filtering(filtering bool) *Select[T] {
	s.filtering = filtering
	return s
}

Happy to contribute, if this is something you would welcome.

Hey! @PJGaetan This makes sense to me! We'll just need to make sure the s.filter textinput gets focused as well, this should be done on Update if the s.filtering is true but s.filter.Focused is false.

Hey @PJGaetan, thank you so much for wanting to make this project better! I've converted this to a discussion so we can talk through it and keep our backlog clear. If it does end up being something we want to add, we'll promote it back to an issue when we are ready to work on it.

If we commit to this feature, that's a feature we will need to maintain for the lifespan of this project. So, since "Yes is forever", we are carefully considering new features.

Hey @bashbunni, thank you for looking into this.

The issue was never closed but an MR was accepted last year to handle this issue.
#179

I think the discussion can be closed as well ! :)
