Troubleshooting

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).
• Switch to a new terminal session (#168).

Search directory 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
