After trying this for creating a fresh new project with the Let me choose option, these are my user experience comments:

• +1 to Ole's suggestion a to toggle --> a to toggle all or toggle all
• i to invert --> i to invert selection or invert selection
• Delete should remove the default line
• It asked me to overwrite many files (perhaps the minimal installation is run beforehand?). This may feel scary for some users.

Tried again, now with existing code:

• My README.md was smashed. Consider appending/prepending the new readme lines to the existing one, without deleting anything.
  • Same with .gitignore
• It could be good to store the latest email address, name, ..., so the user doesn't have to input it again if unchanged.

@PabRod: Thanks for these suggestions.
Navigation and shortcuts are handled by copier itself. We have no control of changing it so we cannot implement these suggestings.

Merging and conflict handling are also managed by copier.

I have created an issue about code of conduct email here: #604

A selection of small usability improvements

• "Select a profile"

  • How to proceed? Press Enter to proceed (probably in copier itself)

• "Select code quality features"

  • <a> to toggle toggle what? It should probably be <a> to toggle all (probably in copier itself)
  • How to proceed? Press Enter to proceed (probably in copier itself)

• .gitignore

  • change .swp to *.swp
  • more entries are probably needed, check https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Python.gitignore for inspiration

• next_steps.md

  • git remote add origin git@github.com:/test_package is missing the org? (validation step needed)

  • Same for "Check automatically generated issues"

  • "Push the initial commit to a new repo on GitHub"

    • Links have double //

• project_setup.md

  • Lots of unnecessary whitespace/newlines

  • "Package version number"

    • The package version is not in a single place (pyproject.toml), it is also present in src/test_package/__init__.py Is this both bumped? Needs quick testing.

  • MANIFEST.in and NOTICE could use more context, what is it good for?

• NOTICE has no contributors (validation step needed)

• README.md

  • Has no title / h1 header
  • Extra empty lines

• "What is the email address cor code of conduct?" (typo and double-space)

• Not selecting "docs" or "github actions" still creates all the folders (apparently not implemented yet)

• Validation step needed for empty "full name"

• Are more than two keywords allowed? keyword1, keyword2

@OleMussmann: Thank you so much for the feedback! I have created several issues based on your feedback.
