It's still not clear from your description what you mean by "select"
one of the options.
Please specify how commands such as `customize', `customize-apropos'
do not do what you want.
`M-x customize-apropos-options RET .* RET', for example, shows you all
currently defined options, together with their doc string first line
(and full information if you expand an option description).
---
Emacs used to also have a command `edit-options', which listed all
options with their doc strings, and which had these keys:
Options mode:
Major mode for editing Emacs user option settings.
Special commands are:
s -- set variable point points at. New value read using minibuffer.
x -- toggle variable, t -> nil, nil -> t.
1 -- set variable to t.
0 -- set variable to nil.
Changed values made by these commands take effect immediately.
Each variable description is a paragraph.
For convenience, the characters p and n move back and forward by
paragraphs.
This feature was removed before Emacs 22, however.
