In gui.py filter the lists based on input text.

In gui.py instead of using the OptionMenu widget with long lists to maintain for the user to hunt through, filter the list based on input text. The code below explains it better:

import tkinter as tk

# Sample list of items
items = ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry", "Grape", "Lemon", "Orange", "Strawberry"]

# Function to filter the list based on input text
def filter_list(event):
    filter_text = entry.get().lower()  # Get input text and convert to lowercase
    filtered_items = [item for item in items if filter_text in item.lower()]
    
    listbox.delete(0, tk.END)  # Clear the listbox
    for item in filtered_items:
        listbox.insert(tk.END, item)  # Insert filtered items into the listbox

# Create the main window
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("List Filter")

# Create an entry widget for filtering
entry = tk.Entry(root)
entry.pack(pady=10)
entry.bind("<KeyRelease>", filter_list)  # Bind the filter function to key release

# Create a listbox for displaying filtered items
listbox = tk.Listbox(root)
listbox.pack()

# Initialize the listbox with all items
for item in items:
    listbox.insert(tk.END, item)

root.mainloop()

I've tried to do this in #196 with an Entry widget instead of the OptionMenu widget, The result is a bit broken.

By the way, as far as I know, gui.py is of no real use.

Done with #193
