//! Read the input from the person using the program
//!
//! The input can be:
//! * New characters for the search query
//! * Control sequences to move around the list
//! * Control sequences to move around the prompt
//! * Signals to cancel and exit
//! * Signals to select a candidate from the list
//!
//! All of these actions are processed and sent as events to
//! the rest of tasks.
//!
//! ### Moving around the list
//!
//! * You can use `Up` and `Down` keys to move through the list of candidates
//! * `<C-p>` does the same the Up key and `<C-n>` as the Down key
//! * `Backspace` will remove the character behind the cursor
//!
//! ### Moving around the prompt
//!
//! * You can use the `Left` and `Right` keys to move the cursor in the prompt
//! * `<C-e>` will go to the end of the prompt and `<C-a>` to the beginning
//! * `<C-u>` clears the current query
//!
//! ### Selecting a candidate and exiting the program
//! * `Enter` will select the current candidate
//! * `Esc` will exit the program without making a selection
