# ask - a simple command line asker
`ask` is a simple command line tool to get user input. `ask` is less janky than
`read`, more compact than `fzf`, and less bloated than `readline`-based tools.
`ask` supports most of the typical line editing functionality (e.g. arrow keys,
backspace, Ctrl-U) and can be used to perform fuzzy matching or basic user input
all on a single line of terminal space. Like fuzzy find tools, `ask` plays nicely
with unix pipelines, but it's a bit more visually compact. `ask`'s functionality
overlaps with fuzzy finders, but if you want to see a full list of things you're
filtering through, use `fzy` or `fzf` instead of `ask`.
