Heatseeker is a rewrite of Selecta, a general-purpose fuzzy selector.
The purpose of the rewrite is to combine the simplicity and generality of Selecta with the speed and portability of native code.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports the same keys as Selecta, along with a few others to support multi-select:
- ^T to select or deselect the currently highlighted match.
- Enter to select the currently highlighted match, or any matches previously highlighted with ^T.
- ^G, ^C, or Escape to quit without selecting a match.
- Backspace to delete the last query character typed.
- ^U to delete the entire query.
- ^N, down arrow, or tab to highlight the next match.
- ^P or up arrow to highlight the previous match.
- Cross-platform support – runs under Linux, macOS, and Windows.
