Result of TAB completion not written to command line

[f0rdprefect]

DO

1. Open Powershell
2. Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key Tab -ScriptBlock { Invoke-FzfTabCompletion }
3. Type something and hit <TAB>
4. fzf opens and I can type to narrow down matches and select the item I want on the command line
5. hit <ENTER>

GET

the text I typed to narrow down the list of results

EXPECT

the Item I selected appended to my command line

Remark

Powershell 5.1.17763.1971

Using all other chords like - R work as expected. I guess I am missing something? Anything else I can try?

Can you give me more information? I can't see to recreate your issue. See attached gif.

When you get a chance, try running the following before tab completion:

$error.Clear()

Try the tab completion, then run the following after and post the output:

$error

[koalp]

I have the same issue for and there is no $error.

What I’ve done :

$error.Clear()
$error.Cl<TAB>  # completion menu showing but nothing append after selection in fzf
$error # no output

Confirm tab completion not working here also.

EDIT: Installing the latest version of PowerShell from here and using it instead of the Windows one fixed the issue for me.

I'm experiencing this issue as well.
$error is empty.

Other information:
If I try to set shortcut for a command like Invoke-FuzzyGitStatus then it fails similarly, but it might be another issue.

I have 2 version of powershell here (5.1 and 7.2), the issue appears in 5.1 but not in 7.2.

[belotn]

On powershell 5, $script:fzfOuput contains 2 value the selected FZF return and the queried path, on powershell 7 only the result...

[roachsinai]

Same issue on powershell 5.

[kelleyma49]

I see what is happening, but I'm not sure why.

The order of outputs from fzf is inconsistent in PowerShell 5. fzf is supposed to output the query first, then the selections. It does this in PowerShell 7 just fine, but not in 5.

@kelleyma49 thanks! It works. But seems it not work with soft link with fuzzyselectdirectory. I will open a new issue.

Soft link not work is my fault, sorry for that.
