[Feature Request] Ability to map `choose` values to keys about gum HOT 4 CLOSED

Hey!

P.S. Thanks for the tool - it's awesome. Yesterday I integrated in some of my fish functions for administration and it's so much nicer to use now!

Thank you for the kind words!

You can actually accomplish this with pure shell scripting, here is an example:

https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum/blob/main/examples/filter-key-value.sh

export LIST=$(cat <<END
Cow:Moo
Cat:Meow
Dog:Woof
END)

ANIMAL=$(echo "$LIST" | cut -d':' -f1 | gum filter)
SOUND=$(echo "$LIST" | grep $ANIMAL | cut -d':' -f2)

echo "The $ANIMAL goes $SOUND"

This allows everyone to use whatever delimiters they want and makes it much more flexible instead of prescribing a solution with flags inside of gum.

😢 That's not really the same and MUCH LESS readable. But thanks for the suggestion.

Hmm, I may have misinterpreted your original example then. Could you elaborate on what you are trying to do and I can try and put together a more readable example for you?

No, it seems that your interpretation was correct. :)

However, gum choose doesn't have search bar and have multi-selection and it "feels" different than gum filter.

I'll implement new behavior for myself anyway and then I can show the code - maybe you'll reconsider. :)

Thanks.
