fzf v0.19.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2019-11-15 // over 4 years ago
    • ➕ Added --phony option which completely disables search functionality. Useful when you want to use fzf only as a selector interface. See below.
    • ➕ Added "reload" action for dynamically updating the input list without restarting fzf. See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/1750 to learn more about it. sh # Using fzf as the selector interface for ripgrep RG_PREFIX="rg --column --line-number --no-heading --color=always --smart-case " INITIAL_QUERY="foo" FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="$RG_PREFIX '$INITIAL_QUERY' || true" \ fzf --bind "change:reload:$RG_PREFIX {q} || true" \ --ansi --phony --query "$INITIAL_QUERY"
    • --multi now takes an optional integer argument which indicates the maximum number of items that can be selected sh seq 100 | fzf --multi 3 --reverse --height 50%
    • If a placeholder expression for --preview and execute action (and the new reload action) contains f flag, it is replaced to the path of a temporary file that holds the evaluated list. This is useful when you multi-select a large number of items and the length of the evaluated string may exceed ARG_MAX. sh # Press CTRL-A to select 100K items and see the sum of all the numbers seq 100000 | fzf --multi --bind ctrl-a:select-all \ --preview "awk '{sum+=\$1} END {print sum}' {+f}"
    • deselect-all no longer deselects unmatched items. It is now consistent with select-all and toggle-all in that it only affects matched items.
    • 0️⃣ Due to the limitation of bash, fuzzy completion is enabled by default for a fixed set of commands. A helper function for easily setting up fuzzy completion for any command is now provided. sh # usage: _fzf_setup_completion path|dir COMMANDS... _fzf_setup_completion path git kubectl
    • 💅 Info line style can be changed by --info=STYLE
      • --info=default
      • --info=inline (same as old --inline-info)
      • --info=hidden
    • Preview window border can be disabled by adding noborder to --preview-window.
    • When you transform the input with --with-nth, the trailing white spaces are removed.
    • ctrl-\, ctrl-], ctrl-^, and ctrl-/ can now be used with --bind
