Do we need the same hint if you run create, etc ?

[AdrianGonz97]

this change is already shared with create since as it invokes runAddCommand

[benmccann]

Oh, that's pretty weird. You'd want it to show up in the first create question - not the third

[AdrianGonz97]

it only shows up on the multi-select where there's a difference between space and enter. the others are just normal select prompts (only enter applies)

[manuel3108]

I also understand it the way that the core problem is the multiselect.
But I think we should be consistent and also add it to the tailwind plugin multiselect:

[AdrianGonz97]

I thought about that and figured that it's fine to exclude it from succeeding* multi-select prompts as you've been "taught" what to do by the time you reach this prompt

Not necessarily, because you can just run npx sv add tailwindcss. But you could argue that if you know that command you also know how to navigate the multiselect.

[sacrosanctic]

What is the reason for not adding hints to subsequent multi-selects? Is it because of clutter?

Isn't it always better to provide visual aid, I understand it's squares for multi-select and circles for single-select. But I find that hardly noticeable.

[benmccann]

I'd have to see what it looks like, but my first reaction is that it'd be too noisy and we should mention it only once

[manuel3108]

You can also try it yourself with

pnpx https://pkg.pr.new/sveltejs/cli/sv@407d856 create

I think this is totally fine and could be useful for some users.

[AdrianGonz97]

seeing it now, I still think it adds unnecessary noise. this noisiness is also exacerbated when the instructions are kept on screen long after prompt submission

[sacrosanctic]

Is it possible to add a check to only show the hint on the first multi-select the user encounters, or would that increase the code complexity.

If possible, this would reduce clutter and still have hints regardless of which branch the user takes.

outdated

Let's only add this to the integration-selection question for now, as everyone seems to agree there. Let's get this merged and hear for user feedback
