Add flag to select single result immediately (revisit issue #27) about fzf HOT 7 CLOSED

I've given some thought about it over time, and have come to agree with the need for the option. You have nicely summarized the reasoning behind this. I'll keep you updated on the progress.

Okay, now we have --select-1 and --exit-0 option (or -1 and -0 respectively).
I've also updated fe example on the README page.
Could you update fzf and check if it works for you? Let me know if you see any problem.

👍 Looks great. I will upgrade soon.

Wow, thanks for the quick response, Junegunn!

A few suggestions:

• -1 should probably work regardless of whether --query is passed. That
  will allow the user to automatically select the only choice if
  $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND produces only one item.
• -0 should probably also work regardless of whether --query is passed.
  This will allow the user to avoid having to quit out of a useless fzf
  session if no results were produced by $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND.
• Consider returning 0 when exiting with the -0 option (it currently
  exits with 1) to distinguish it from the case where there were several
  matches, but the user pressed CTRL-C/ESC to exit the finder (which also
  exits with 1).

Thanks again, this is a great utility!
