Allow checkboxes in custom commands

[ruudk]

I'm using Lazygit and I love it.

I'm also using Git Town, which is also amazing.

I created a lot of custom commands that I use to work with Git Town.

For example:

But as you can see at the last screenshot, the 2nd, 3rd and 4rd options are actually just passing extra options to git town hack.

- key: "n"
        description: "Hack"
        commandMenu:
          - description: Hack
            command: 'git town hack {{ .Form.BranchName | quote }}'
            prompts:
              - type: input
                title: "Branch name"
                key: "BranchName"
                initialValue: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
            loadingText: "Hacking"
            output: terminal
          - description: Hack and beam commits from current branch
            command: 'git town hack {{ .Form.BranchName | quote }} --beam'
            prompts:
              - type: input
                title: "Branch name"
                key: "BranchName"
                initialValue: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
              - type: 'confirm'
                title: 'Promose'
                body: 'Do you want to immediately propose it?'
            loadingText: "Hacking"
            output: terminal
          - context: "global"
            description: "Hack and propose stashed changes"
            command: 'git town hack --propose --commit {{ .Form.BranchName | quote }}'
            prompts:
              - type: input
                title: "Branch name"
                key: "BranchName"
                initialValue: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
            loadingText: "Hacking"
            output: terminal
          - context: "global"
            description: "Hack and commit stashed changes"
            command: 'git town hack --commit {{ .Form.BranchName | quote }}'
            prompts:
              - type: input
                title: "Branch name"
                key: "BranchName"
                initialValue: 'ruudk/{{ runCommand "date +\"%Y/%-m\"" }}/'
            loadingText: "Hacking"
            output: terminal

This does not really scale well, especially sine I also would like to add another option that does a --beam and --propose.

So what I'm really missing is checkboxes. To toggle options.

Then I can have a single hack option, that then allows me to check beam, promos, and commit and then execute it.

@stefanhaller whenever you have time, I'm curious if you have ideas about this.

I'm sorry to say that the feature doesn't interest me enough to spend time and energy on thinking about a solution. I can only say that I find checkboxes to be problematic in TUIs: you'd have to find a way to navigate to them using the keyboard, and toggle them without closing the popup. This doesn't feel very ergonomic to me, but as I said, I'm too lazy to really think about it in more depth.
