Pickers

Built-in pickers

• / on an empty line opens the command picker: every slash command (including yours), fuzzy-filtered as you type, with descriptions.
• /connect with no arguments opens the world picker over your saved bookmarks.
• Ctrl+R opens history search; Ctrl+T searches your aliases.

Inside any picker: type to filter, arrows to move, Enter to select, Esc/Ctrl+C to cancel. In the inline command picker, Tab completes the highlighted command into the input line.

Your own pickers

rune.ui.picker.show gives scripts the same overlay:

rune.ui.picker.show({
    title = "Where to?",
    items = {
        { text = "temple",  desc = "the safe room",   value = "temple" },
        { text = "smithy",  desc = "repairs",         value = "smithy" },
        { text = "harbor",  desc = "boats east",      value = "harbor" },
    },
    on_select = function(value)
        rune.send("walkto " .. value)
    end,
})

on_select receives the selected item’s value, which defaults to its text. Items can also be plain strings. Pass mode = "inline" for a compact picker attached to the input line instead of a modal (the title only shows in modal mode), and match_description = true to fuzzy-match descriptions too.

Bind it to a key and you have a custom menu:

rune.bind("f3", function()
    rune.ui.picker.show({ title = "Paths", items = path_names, on_select = go })
end)
