[BUG] Idk if its exactly a bug but there is a weird bug with color indicators

[yavko]

Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I can make sure:

• I am using the latest version of fzf-tab
• this is the minimal zshrc which can reproduce this bug
• fzf-tab is loaded after compinit
• fzf-tab is loaded after plugins which will wrap Tab, like junegunn/fzf/completion.zsh
• fzf-tab is loaded before zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting and fast-syntax-highlighting.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. type cat in this example
2. weird bug

Expected behavior

not having those things around the text

Screenshots

Environment:

• OS: macOS
• zsh version: 5.8
• term: kitty
• prompt: powerlevel10k
• framework: zim

[Aloxaf]

See #24

TLDR: add zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '[%d]' to your zshrc

[yavko]

thx

[yavko]

@Aloxaf Didn't fix...

[yavko]

plus i already had that in my zshrc

[Aloxaf]

@yavko Put it to the end of zshrc, so that it won't be overridden by other plugins.

[yavko]

kk

[yavko]

@Aloxaf forgot to say its a very bottom and it still doesnt work!

[Aloxaf]

That's strange. Does it work in an interactive session?

[yavko]

nope

[Aloxaf]

Can you provide the output of
zstyle -s ':completion:*:descriptions' format reply; echo $reply
and
cat $functions_source[_bat] ?

[yavko]

the first thing returns
[%d]
But the second thing never finishes it just stays blank and never does anything I have to kill it by my self.

[brerx]

the first thing returns
[%d]
But the second thing never finishes it just stays blank and never does anything I have to kill it by my self.

same output for me ☹️

[Aloxaf]

@yavko @brerx Does this bug only happen with cat or with every commands?

[yavko]

It happens with cat, and other commands as well
Btw I made this bug report on my old pc it still happens on this fresh Manjaro linux install.

[Aloxaf]

@yavko Can you trigger the completion with C-x ., and then provide the log here?

[yavko]

How?

[Aloxaf]

@yavko Enter cat , and then press Ctrl-x .

[yavko]

oh

[yavko]

[yavko]

using bat btw

[brerx]

Enter cat , and then press Ctrl-x .

It does not come back for me. Pressing Ctrl-c twice tells me that something has been written to a log file.

For vim, the last parts seem to be hidden:

[brerx]

Might the unsetopt xtrace at the end mean something?

[Aloxaf]

@yavko There should be a log file after completion. Please upload it.

@brerx It seems that fzf-tab is not the last plugin to wrap Tab (except zsh-autosuggestions, zsh-syntax-highlighting). Please provide your zshrc.

ok

[yavko]

I don't see that, im pressing ctrl+x . no logs

[brerx]

I'm using prezto,

leaving out aliases and stuff, that's the most important parts of zshrc:

...
fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath)
autoload -Uz compinit promptinit colors edit-command-line vcs-info
colors
compinit -i
promptinit
zle -N edit-command-line
...
[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh
...

and in the zpreztorc i have

...
# Set the Prezto modules to load (browse modules).
# The order matters.
zstyle ':prezto:load' pmodule \
  'environment' \
  'terminal' \
  'editor' \
  'history' \
  'directory' \
  'spectrum' \
  'utility' \
  'ssh' \
  'completion' \
  'homebrew' \
  'osx' \
  'ruby' \
  'rails' \
  'git' \
  'syntax-highlighting' \
  'history-substring-search' \
  'contrib-prompt' \
  'prompt' \
  'fzf-tab'
 ...

Now that you say so, I don't really know in what order these two are loaded, but maybe just the module order is important?

[yavko]

I use zimfw and have fzf-tab installed through aur and symlinked into the modules folder and have it loaded first in .zimrc so idk

[yavko]

Wait maybe i should switch the loading sequence

[yavko]

didnt work

[nemotiger]

I also have this problem, and I fixed it by removing this line: zstyle ':completion:*' format ' %F{yellow}-- %d --%f'
Both prezto and zimfw have this setting.

[yavko]

Thanks!
edit: I cant find it in my zshrc

[nemotiger]

I see that you are using Zim. It is line 37 of this file.

[yavko]

I commented it out nothing changes

[nemotiger]

You might need to remove some *.zwc files to make it work. Note that I have never used Zim and I'm just guessing.
This type of issues are the main reason why I no longer use any configuration framework.

[yavko]

ok!

[nemotiger]

@Aloxaf Can my ad hoc solution help you fix the bug?

[Aloxaf]

@nemotiger Oh thanks, that helps a lot.

@yavko How about add zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '[%d]' to the end of zshrc and then clear cache? It should be able to overwrite the framework's configuration.

[yavko]

How do I clear cache?

[Aloxaf]

@yavko just remove the *.zwc

[yavko]

k

[yavko]

Ok it still doesn't work i cleared all cache

[Aloxaf]

@yavko add these lines to your zshrc

zstyle -d ':completion:*' format
zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '[%d]'

[yavko]

@yavko add these lines to your zshrc

zstyle -d ':completion:*' format
zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '[%d]'

ok

[yavko]

IT WORKS!

[Aloxaf]

Good, I will update the pinned issue.

[yavko]

Finally!
