  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)

I don't know if this has been suggested before, but I'd like to propose an interactive command line.

The example below should give a good outline of proposed functionality.

I've already made my own script that does these things, which gives an amazingly comfortable workflow for searching for and enjoying videos, but it's for YouTube only.

So I thought it would be great to have this functionality built-in in youtube-dl. The amount of code required is very small, and there's a huge upside in terms of benefit and usefulness.

I look forward to the developers' feedback on this.
