The ability to cancel or time out a prompt

[rchriste]

I am wondering if there is interest in making it possible to have a prompt time out or exit after a certain amount of time or otherwise have some kind of signal to cancel the prompt.

My scenario is I am using Inquire for a time management program that I am writing, and I would love the ability to refresh every few minutes the list that I show. I use the Select list to show the user's "to do" items and as time passes, I would like to automatically adjust the order and put snoozed items back on the list. Right now, I am thinking that I will just have the user press Esc to refresh the list so I'm trying to get a feel for if this kind of feature or change is in line with the vision of Inquire? And if so how do you think this could or should be added?

Hey @rchriste,

I think the concept of timeouts makes sense on a broader view, as well as an async approach to prompts too, but so far it isn't really a priority (unless there's more demand)

In your case, I think it makes more sense for your application to use something like ratatui
