These are good suggestions. I will eventually get front-end functionality to 'aconnect' (for MIDI connections) going...'q' for quit and 'h' for help would be easy enough. The pager idea if it goes beyond the available lines should be easily doable as well.
FYI, 'l' is already there as a 'reprint list of ports' command!!!
I have some debugging to do as well---it appears at least 2 people have verbose versions of 'jack_lsp' which is messing with my elegant parsing scheme....

Hello Aaron!
I like the tool. But I'd have a few suggestions.
I supose you get a list of all possible ports before printing them. Could you compare them to the LIENS variable (offered by the shell and things like curses). If there are more ports 5trhen lines, could you please use a pager?
Could you write a help command? It could be short.
A quit command would be handsome too. Something like "quit" or "q". Now I used ctrl-D which worked, but doesn't look as fancy and sleek as the rest.
Then I of course second the opinion of including ALSA MIDI ports in the list.
Does your tool have a list command, which will reprint the list? If not, tat might be nice as well.
I know, this sounds like a lot and it is. And probably it was never your intention to get that elaborate, but it would certainly be nice.
Kindest regards
Julien
