simple chooser akin to choose-gui or dmenu written in swift

installation

This is just a temporary repo for my own use. Eventually I hope to get this merged upstream.
To use this forked version, first, clone this branch from the repo:

git clone  -single-branch --branch fzy-v1 https://github.com/qiUip/dmenu-swift.git

Then, you can then cd to the directory and use make:

cd dmenu
make

This will automatically pull fzy in a submodule, build it as a light minimal library, and continue to build dmenu

usage:

ls | ./dmenu -p "Select a file" -i -l

arguments(all optional):

-a # enables auto-selecting the last item
-c # enables consecutive matching
-p "" # prompt in search box(default is "Search")
-i # enables search icon
-xs # extra small window
-s # small window
-m # medium window(default)
-l # large window
-w NUM # manually sets window width in pixels (default set by window size)
-r NUM # manually sets maximum number of rows (default set by window size)
--lock # doesn't allow selections, essentially acts as a display menu
--font "" # set the font name (default is system font)
--bg-color HEX # set the background tint ('#RRGGBBAA' or '#RRGGBB')
--text-color HEX # sets item text color
--highlight-color HEX # sets item highlight color

how fuzzy matching works

Matching uses fuzzy searching with fzy.
There are two modes for matching, gaps, which allows gaps between characters for looser matching, and consecutive which only matches consecutive characters with no gaps.
