Release notes¶

Version 0.2.0 (2026-07-13)¶

Switched keyboard input from readchar to blessed, which resolves key sequences across more terminals.

Added viewport_size parameter to Select and MultiSelect to cap the number of choices visible at once (at least 3). By default, prompts fit as many choices as the terminal height allows.
The numbered parameter of Select and MultiSelect now defaults to None, which shows numbers only when the prompt has at most 9 choices and they all fit in the viewport. Pass True or False to force numbers (and digit shortcuts) on or off.
Added richer_prompt.testing.simulate_keys() to simulate keyboard input when testing code that runs prompts.
Added the richer_prompt.keys module of key tokens (e.g. keys.DOWN, keys.ENTER) to pass to richer_prompt.testing.simulate_keys().
Added support for vim key bindings and Home/End keys to jump to the first/last row of a prompt.

Importing richer_prompt no longer touches rich global state, and styling now resolves at prompt time.
Prompts raise NotInteractiveError when standard input is not an interactive terminal, instead of crashing with a cryptic termios error.
Ctrl+C raises KeyboardInterrupt and Ctrl+D (or Ctrl+Z on Windows) raises EOFError while a prompt is running.
Removed unused style names from the docs.

First public release of richer-prompt.
