Allow arbitrary input while suggesting options #8

Description

@hugoShaka

The select() method returns -1 if the user input is not in options.
Currently it does not permit to recover the original input and does not allow to use rofi as a free text prompt while providing input suggestions (I may be wrong, if so please correct me 😁 ).

It may be useful to allow arbitrary user inputs while providing optional default values.
I thought of 2 ways of doing it :

  • The text_entry() method could support optional arg options (default=[] to ensure backward compatibility).
  • Creating a new method select_flex() returning index, key, user_input or user_input, key

I can submit a PR if you tell me what way suits you.

PS : thanks for the module, it made my day.
