[Feature reques] add multi-line parameters support

[jheroy]

Current parameters only support one line, press enter will exec a snippet. Use '\n' or shift+enter to support multi-line parameters.

This is not the functionality I want. What I want is for the input box to be able to wrap and accept multiple lines when executing a snippet with parameters, instead of doing this when generating a new snippet.

[RamiAwar]

Ah sorry misread as multi-line snippets.

What's the use-case for this? Can you give me an example?

I'm finding it hard to think of one myself! @jheroy

I often need to execute the same SQL statements, which are multiline, across different databases in a testing environment. Rami Awar ***@***.***> 于 2024年5月3日周五 00:41写道：

> pet new 
Command> echo "<param=multi line command \n goes here>"
Description> multiline param

> pet exec 
> echo "multi line command \n goes here"
multi line command \n goes here

[jheroy]

This is the snippet:

[[snippets]]
  description = "multiline param"
  command = "echo \"<param=multi line command \\n goes here>\""
  output = ""

I change it to :

[[snippets]]
  description = "multiline param"
  command = "echo \"<param=multi line command \n goes here>\""
  output = ""

exec result:

> pet exec 
> echo "multi line command  goes here"
multi line command  goes here

Are you on the latest version? Try doing a brew update && brew upgrade pet

[jheroy]

I manually downloaded the latest version from the release page, the running result is still the same as before. by the way, I'm using the Arch Linux system.

> pet version
pet version 0.8.4

Can you try it without pet exec? Instead try using the pet search shortcut that would paste the command to your terminal and then you execute it manually.

In the docs its setup to be ctrl+S for example.

That's the way I recommend using Pet
