Candidates issue with oh-my-zsh

[seagle0128]

Hi, Thanks for the great zsh plugin! I really like it.

But I have an minor issue with oh-my-zsh. As you know, oh-my-zsh also provides completion mechanism. The screenshot is below.

If enabling fzf-tab, it looks like this. The group headers are listed in the candidates as well. Can they be removed for better experience? It's better to colorize the candidates for different groups IMO.

See #24.

fzf-tab is not supposed or guaranteed to work perfectly with any set of completion styles. It's natural and even expected that if you take an existing set of completion styles optimized for some other UI and drop fzf-tab on it, it'll look suboptimal.

P.S.

oh-my-zsh doesn't provide completion mechanism. It just sets a few parameters that Zsh provides. That is Zsh allows you to choose whether to display menu on the first tab or the second, how to display groups, etc. Oh My Zsh simply makes some arbitrary choices.

Okay. Thanks for your quick reply. I am closing it.

I should have mentioned I'm just another user of fzf-tab (will always do so in the future when commenting here). The owner of the project is the one in charge here.

Sorry! I reopen this issue since I found this similar plugin is able to handle the group names correctly. Bu it has less features obviously.

@romkatv Thanks anyway!

Aha, I got a workaround and it works well in my env.

Updated: Use export FZF_TAB_SHOW_GROUP=brief to hide the group names.

Sorry I am late here. As @romkatv(thank you so much) says this is an known issue.

But you don't need to hide the headers, you can overwrite the zsh's default settings, eg zstyle ':completion:*:descriptions' format '-- %d --'.
