# 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 `fzy`, and less bloated than
readline-based tools. `ask` supports most of the typical readline-style 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 unlike the fuzzy
find tools, `ask` only uses a single line of terminal output, so it's good for
embedding. `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`.

## Usage
Here's a simple program to move a file from the current directory:

    #!/bin/sh
    file="`ls | ask "Pick a file: "`"
    mv "$file" "`ask "Move $file to: "`"
