Key bindings do not work

  • Execute bind and check if there are bindings overriding the bindings starting with __fzf_.
  • Ensure jethrokuan/fzf and the Fish extension that ships with fzf are uninstalled.
  • Ensure you're using the minimum required version of fish.
  • In your terminal's settings, map Option to Meta (see #54).

File search feature does not work

  • If you are on certain distribution of Linux, you will need to alias fdfind to fd (see #93).
  • fd, by default, ignores files also ignored by git. Check your local and global .gitignore files to see if the files not showing up have been ignored.
  • Ensure fdclone is not installed.

Unable to set custom FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS

Originally reported in #106. If you're getting this error set: Universal variable 'FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS' is shadowed by the global variable of the same name., try these steps:

  • close your current fish session, open a new shell, and checking if FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS is now the right value
  • use set --show FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS to determine what's overshadowing it
  • uninstall and reinstall the plugin
