:Files

:Buffers

The output is now coloured and works ok

:Buffers (Unsupported Ansi)

Some how I've made ANSI unsupported in my Neovim configuration (since a clean Install works fine using your example in the Github Issue Template)

Is there a global way to disable ansi, :Files seems fine, but :Buffers uses ansi.

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--no-color' should help, although even with the option the current version of fzf does not suppress colored text in the preview window, which should be fixed in the upcoming release.

[dekz]

λ env | grep FZF
FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS=--no-color
λ env | grep COLOR
λ echo $TERM
xterm

[junegunn]

Did you properly export the variable?

[junegunn]

Works for me fine. The issue I mentioned regarding the preview window will be fixed in the next version.

Yep

I've attached an asciicast recording.

[junegunn]

I'm pretty sure it's a configuration issue.

[dekz]

I am able to reproduce this in a Docker container with Bash + Neovim and only FZF and FZF.vim installed as plugins.

fzf version: 16.5

It is related to setting fzf layout options in vimrc.

let g:fzf_layout = { 'up': '~25%', 'options': '--reverse' }

Here is an asciicast with the options set and then unset, with the behaviour changing.

[dekz]

I now realise adding --ansi to options

let g:fzf_layout = { 'up': '~25%', 'options': '--reverse --ansi' }

Enables it to display properly for me in this case.

Thanks for your work @junegunn

[junegunn]

Oh, you are not supposed to have options in g:fzf_layout. And that's the reason it's not working as expected. The options entry in g:fzf_layout overrides the correct set of options used by :Buffers command. I'm gonna make fzf throw an error if it's incorrectly used. Is there any blog post that suggests doing so? This seems to be a recurring mistake. #317 (comment)

[dekz]

Ah it could have been, or from someone else's github profile. I'll have a dig around.

My config had not changed in 6+ months, but I recently upgraded fzf.

I'll use the let $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = '--reverse' from now on. Thanks!
