Implement "multiline" prompt

[mikaelmello]

Motivation looks similar to #1, the idea here is to allow the user to input a multi-line text without having to open a text editor.

Not sure how useful this would be, as I consider #1 more important.

Edit: this is now activelly not planned to be implemented by the maintainer (me...). I'll be leaving this open in case anyone is interested in implementing it.

It won't be easy if you are going to keep the package crossplatform.

Maybe this one can be a source of inspiration: https://github.com/Avarel/mini-me

Can't say I have much experience on that front, what kind of challenges are you expecting?

I thought it would be pretty standard stuff, just a lot of work.

Anyway, probably another reason to prefer editor support over this :)

When I was writing my comment, I did not know yet that you had already used crossterm package. It is already crossplatform and it makes my comment unrelated.

I agree, editor support is good to have as well. I'm fine with calling an editor to type long text - I do it to enter multi-line git comments. :)

would love to see this feature ... I have a use case where i need to write few bullet points , but opening an editor to do this feels really unnatural

[mikaelmello]

@gopherine unfortunately it isn't in our plans due to how complex a multi-line editor would be

I'd gladly review any PRs but it should be a lot of work to implement it right and I unfortunately don't have the time atm

[mikaelmello]

Unfortunately there isn't really much of a point in keeping this open. Even Github's CLI uses a text editor for larger inputs.

The point about accepting it if someone implements stays :)
