Exceptions

This module defines its own exception classes, which all inherit from the base class CursesFzfException (which itself inherits from Exception). This allows users of the library to catch specific exceptions or handle all exceptions raised by FuzzyFinder in a unified way.

The most important exception is CursesFzfAborted, which indicates that the user has aborted the selection process (typically by pressing Ctrl+C or ESC).
