Hello.
I found out this project, which Is similar to Yeoman, and for any prompts which is a choice of values, they provide an autocomplete when typing. This is incredibly useful when you have lots of options. Even with the default "yo" command, if you have like 50 generators installed, you will need to scroll until you find the one you want. It would be really nice, if the user can start typing to filter the list.

I found this https://github.com/mokkabonna/inquirer-autocomplete-prompt which implements this behavior.

If this could be the default behavior for any list prompt, I think it would be awesome. If not, at least provide a new prompt type "autocomplete" for this.

What do you think?

Related: #222 -> #436 & #551. Personally I think this is a great idea. When a lot of generators are installed, scrolling through them all in yo is kind of a pain.

@UlisesGascon - WDYT?

I love the idea! Seems like a good feature that we can add to the backlog 👍
