+# Pick From Tasks Using Interactive Picker
+
+In [Add Mise Tasks For Common Workflow
+Commands](https://www.visualmode.dev/add-mise-tasks-for-common-workflow-commands),
+I wrote about a set of tasks I added as shortcuts for connecting to the `rails console` in various environments.
+
+```toml
+# mise.toml
+[tasks."console:staging"]
+description = "Open a Rails console on staging"
+run = "ssh -t my-app-staging dokku run my-app rails console"
+
+[tasks."console:prod"]
+description = "Open a Rails console on production"
+run = "ssh -t my-app-prod dokku run my-app rails console"
+```
+
+When a project is configured with multiple `mise` tasks like this, we can invoke
+`mise run` without any specific arguments and it will prompt you with an
+interactive picker. The picker will populate with all the tasks like so:
+
+```bash
+❯ mise run
+Tasks
+Select a task to run
+❯ console:prod     Open a Rails console on production
+  console:staging  Open a Rails console on staging
+/
+esc clear filter • enter confirm
+```
+
+We can navigate between the options with the arrow keys (and if we exit _filter_
+mode by hitting `esc`, then `j/k` also work to move down and up). While in
+_filter_ mode, we can type into the prompt which will filter the list of
+commands down to just the partial matches.
+
+Once we're targeting the task we want to run, we hit `enter` and the task is
+executed.
