I use bemenu for a timer/alarm where it prompts for a message and a time. Sometimes I want to edit this message, but after selecting the message and then being prompted for a new message, I still want a way to reference the selected message in order to formulate the new message. There are some ways, with caveats:
I can print the old message as a result. Problem: my new message needs to be unique or the old message is selected because it's still a result. There's a decent chance it's not unique because my updated message maybe simply be a reword, typo fix, etc.
The prompt can be updated with the previous message. Problem: my message can be a long line so this is not ideal (both the prompt and the new message will likely both be very long lines).
Proposed feature requests as solution to this problem:
Prefill input with some text (the old message in this case). Then I can just edit the input for selection.
(Pertaining to the first case): Ignore pre-selected result (i.e. the old message displayed as reference) so that the input new message doesn't have to be unique for it to be registered as the selection.
First proposed feature request is probably the more intuitive/useful approach.
