Research direction

Look at the MultiChoice/Checklist implementation in the ishell source code to understand how items are currently selected and navigated. Identify where the selection logic resides and how to modify it to skip items marked as unselectable. Test by creating a sample CLI app with a long list and section headers to verify the cursor behavior.

Description

enhancement

Currently all items in MultiChoice/Checklist are selectable.

If there was a way to specify unselectable items, those could be used as section headers to separate a long list of items. While cycling through options, the cursor wouldn't land on these items, it would just move onto the next item.
