Hi @noisneil , thanks for adding even more functionality to this prompt.
I noticed that scrolling with the arrow keys works fine until an item is selected using the mouse click. Then the arrow key scrolling seems to be skipping.

Oops! I forgot to restore focus to the list itself after the mouse click. I've fixed it above, so download the new version.

This is a great macro, @noisneil
Maybe you can turn it into a subroutine that takes the following parameters:
font name
window size
text of list
and returns the chosen item(s) ?
Oh - and while I'm asking maybe you could give up your day-to-day life to help out us other needy KMers

@noisneil , the updated version looks good. Thanks!
@tiffle , LOL, my thought exactly. I was going to ask if we could request more functionality. Along with what you suggested....i'll add in some more
pressing Page Up/Down also scrolls the list
parameters for everything: font, colours, etc
instead of Shift + Enter to select, could we set a parameter as well? I would like Control key

Good idea!
Done.
ChrisQ:

I've done font and font size, but I think much more than that and we're getting into diminishing returns.
It's not as simple as typing a key into a variable to switch between key combos and single keys. However, if you'd like to use ⌃, I've included a (currently disabled) version of the HTML action that will do that.

Well geez, I might as well chime in with my request as well...
How about allowing multiple selections by holding the shift key and hitting the up or down key?

Hi Neil - that's above and beyond.
Just looking to trim the thickness of that border now...
You'll want to fiddle with the end number of each of these lines under the init section:
var inputWidth = promptSize[0] - 100;
var listWidth = promptSize[0] - 100;
var listHeight = promptSize[1] - 135;

How about Shift to select/deselect. Holding down Shift and Up/Down to multi-select/deselect.
I think I've got it working...

Really good stuff.
Can the Prompt List 'look' to display the contents of a .txt file?

Hi @noisneil , does searching with multiple strings still work? It's seems to be broken in the subroutine.
Thanks for flagging that. Adding new features caused a conflict. Fixed in the first post now.
