autocomplete prompt action

[dg-pb]

I have looked for this functionality, but could not find it.

What I would like is to be able to press "tab" which would replace prompt text with contents of highlighted line from the search list.

E.g.

1. In prompt I type: >lib.*/lib.*
2. I find /library/library path
3. I press tab and my prompt becomes >/library/library

Thanks.

This could be interesting for some use-cases, we'll look into it.
This will have to wait probably a few weeks though, unless you or someone else feels like opening a PR, as I have my hands very full atm with ratatui

I think what could be a general extension is "replace prompt" with 2 variables:

sk --bind="ctrl+i:prompt_mod[${prompt} {}]"
# ${prompt} - current prompt contents
# {} - current highlighted item

Examples of applications:
a) Functionality I have indicated above
b) Binding a shortcut to toggle regex flags (and similar)

E.g. b):

function toggle_flag() {
    # parses input with flags and toggles desired one
}

sk --bind="ctrl+i:prompt_mod[toggle_flag ${prompt} i]"

So that:

1. prompt: >(?s)regex input
2. CTRL+I
3. prompt: >(?si)regex input

So these are just 2 examples, but this would allow a high degree of customisation.

To it seems like this could be 2 extensions:

1. prompt_mod action
2. ${prompt} (in whatever form is best) variable for all actions

As this variable could be useful for other actions as well.

I found that (2) is already there. I.e. Placeholder for "command prompt contents" already exists. At least for --preview, being {q} and {cq}.

So I think this narrows it down to prompt_mod action which adapts placeholders and variables from --preview.

And actions can already use all placeholders. :)

So this boils down to modify_prompt action.
