### Brief Description ###

*pipedial* is one more tool for selecting something in console.  It was created
out of despair because of absence of a selector like [sentaku][sentaku] with
Vim-like modes which isn't horribly slow (you can see *sentaku* drawing elements
top to bottom, it comes out of it being written in `bash`, which makes it easy
to use).  Literally tenth of existing pickers have nothing going in favour of
their existence being rewrites of other tools for no good reason.

### Features ###

* Very basic Vim-like navigation.
* Filtering by substring.

### Example ###

Switch to a branch inside git repository (doesn't handle cancellation):

```
git checkout $(git branch | pipedial --title 'Pick destination branch:')
```

### Supported Environment ###

Expected to work in \*nix like environments.

### Prerequisites ###

* [GNU Make][make]
* C++11 compatible compiler (e.g. GCC 4.9.3)
* [curses library][curses] with support of wide characters
* [GNU Readline library][readline]
* (optional) [pandoc][pandoc] for regenerating man page
