Getting quick, short, user input

What is the best way to just grab a one-liner input from a user?

Without context it’s difficult to give you much advice, but I would use an alert with the content parameter set to a form, and on that form you could have a textbox, or dropdown or whatever input you want from the user.

@stefano.menci created a dependency to allow creating those sorts of input alerts without actually creating other forms: Input_box() and alert2() It works very well for even fairly complex sets of input.
