That’s cool! What’s the use of FZF? Isn’t it a fuzzy finder, what are you searching for in a jq REPL?

It only uses the FZF's preview. The suggestions is completely empty. I tried to find an alternative as FZF has no way of disabling the selector window, but I was unable to find anything that was good enough for this.

I considered forking jid/jiq and using gojq as a library, but I ended up not going down that route because of reasons that I cannot remember. I also considered using a tui or something but FZF has so much already implemented and has a lot of it right, and I didn't particularly feel like re-inventing the wheel.
