Description

Some cool features from enquier that I really wish to achieve them in prompt-toolkit, because I don't write javascript / nodejs stuff.

Form Prompt

Prompt that allows the user to enter and submit multiple values on a single terminal screen.

MultiSelect Prompt

Prompt that allows the user to select multiple items from a list of options.

Research direction

Start by reviewing prompt-toolkit's existing command-line prompt entry points, then compare the linked Enquirer Form Prompt and MultiSelect Prompt examples. Define the expected interaction and submission behavior for both prompts before identifying the relevant implementation and test locations. Done means both prompt types are implemented with covered terminal interactions.
