Summary

Updated the interactive task selector prompt text to better communicate the search functionality available to users.

Changes

  • Changed the help text in the task selector prompt from "Esc to clear" to "Type to search"
    • Updated in crates/vite_select/src/interactive.rs where the prompt is rendered
    • Updated the corresponding test assertion to match the new prompt text
    • Updated all e2e snapshot tests to reflect the new prompt text across 15 test fixtures

Details

The original prompt text "Select a task (↑/↓, Enter to run, Esc to clear)" was misleading as it emphasized the Escape key functionality while not clearly indicating that users can type to search for tasks. The new text "Select a task (↑/↓, Enter to run, Type to search)" better communicates the primary interactive features available to users and makes the search capability more discoverable.

Nite, it should probably be "type to search" (lowercase) 😅
