Tab direction in multi-select seems reversed

Problem / Steps to reproduce

I'm confused which way that Tab is supposed to travel when in multi-select. Mine has always traveled down (and I double checked by removing all FZF related configuration and reinstalling), and searching through other issues this is the only one I could find which implies the same behavior: #845

However, on several other places on the internet, including blogs/tutorials and documentation for related plugins (e.g. wfxr/forgit#298), it's always described that Tab goes up in multi-select.

Neither the manual man fzf nor the README seem to describe what the intended behavior is (that I could find). For example, the README just states "On multi-select mode (-m), TAB and Shift-TAB to mark multiple items".

Which way is it supposed to go by default?

You're correct. By default, tab goes down, shift-tab goes up regardless of the --layout option.
