Filter command clears terminal when run about gum HOT 6 CLOSED

Yes, I am currently working on that right now. The list will take up as much space as it needs by default and if it has enough space to display inline it will otherwise if the list is too long it will enter AltScreen mode similar to how fzf does which will keep the screen intact when you return to it.

Hey, there is a --height option that you can use but I will look into if I can fix it when there aren't too many options to choose from automatically.

It looks like the height option does work, but I need to manually set it each time and I need to update it whenever the length of the list changes. Would it be possible for the height to have an automatic option so that it takes up as much height as needed to display the list?

@zachoooo In the latest release, we enter AltScreen if there is no --height passed so it will clear the screen but then when the program exits everything will look as it was (no clear effect) which should solve most of your problems.

In the future, I will add detection to see if we can display the entire list inline and do that if the TerminalHeight - CursorLineHeight > ListHeight (i.e. there is enough space to display inline)

Thanks! This is nice to have. For now I've just switched to using Python and had it calculate the height variable based on the length of the list I'm passing in.

Cool, this calculation should be done on gum's end soon enough. Also, you could use wc -l (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wc_(Unix)) to count the lines if you wanted to stay in bash land.

We will have this feature implemented once the cursor position can be queried so that we can accurately predict if the terminal has enough space to display the entire list.
