Feat: support for disabled Add Option to Disable "Select All" and "Deselect All" Shortcuts in Checkbox Prompt

[mzc9915]

I have a use case where I want to disable the "Select All" and "Deselect All" shortcuts (triggered by the "a" and "i" keys) in the checkbox prompt.

Currently, there doesn't seem to be a built-in option to disable these shortcuts, and I have to resort to custom event handling to achieve this. It would be beneficial to have a configuration option that allows developers to disable or customize these keyboard shortcuts directly.

Feature Request:

Add a new configuration option to the checkbox prompt, such as:

{
  type: 'checkbox',
  name: 'selection',
  message: 'Select items:',
  choices: [],
  disableSelectAll: true, // New option to disable the 'a' and 'i' keys
}

This feature would provide more flexibility for developers who want finer control over the user interaction in their CLI applications.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!

Thanks for bringing up this idea. I think it does make sense to add a way to customize this.

Flexibility wise, how about we expose a way to customize or turn off shortcuts; something like

await checkbox({
    ...opt,
    shortcuts: {
        all: 'a', // customize the key
        invert: null, // disable the shortcut
    }
});

PR welcomed if anyone wanna implement this.
