Description
Hi, so i am trying to build a simple prompt which takes in radiolist_dialog() to create a radio list prompt but it has a default option being checked. For example, take my codes below
from prompt_toolkit.shortcuts import radiolist_dialog
radiolist_dialog(
title="Title here",
text="Message here",
values=[
(False, 'Yes'),
(True, 'No'), # Make this default
],
).run()
Once run it will output something like this

But what i want is when run it will give me a prompt with "No" being checked first or by default it's "No". Is it possible ? if yes then i would be appreciated if someone tells me how to do so.
