### Display modes
|
||||
|

fzf by default starts in fullscreen mode, but you can make it start below the
|
||||
cursor with `--height` option.
|
||||
fzf by default runs in fullscreen mode, but there are other display modes.
|
||||
|
||||
#### `--height` mode
|
||||
|
||||
With `--height HEIGHT[%]`, fzf will start below the cursor with the given height.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
vim $(fzf --height 40%)
|
||||
fzf --height 40%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Also, check out `--reverse` and `--layout` options if you prefer
|
||||
"top-down" layout instead of the default "bottom-up" layout.
|
||||
`reverse` layout and `--border` goes well with this option.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
vim $(fzf --height 40% --reverse)
|
||||
fzf --height 40% --layout reverse --border
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can add these options to `$FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS` so that they're applied by
|
||||
default. For example,
|
||||
By prepending `~` to the height, you're setting the maximum height.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--height 40% --layout=reverse --border'
|
||||
# Will take as few lines as possible to display the list
|
||||
seq 3 | fzf --height ~100%
|
||||
seq 3000 | fzf --height ~100%
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Height value can be a negative number.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Screen height - 3
|
||||
fzf --height -3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### `--tmux` mode
|
||||
|
||||
With `--tmux` option, fzf will start in a tmux popup.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# --tmux [center|top|bottom|left|right][,SIZE[%]][,SIZE[%]]
|
||||
|
||||
fzf --tmux center # Center, 50% width and height
|
||||
fzf --tmux 80% # Center, 80% width and height
|
||||
fzf --tmux 100%,50% # Center, 100% width and 50% height
|
||||
fzf --tmux left,40% # Left, 40% width
|
||||
fzf --tmux left,40%,90% # Left, 40% width, 90% height

|
||||
fzf --tmux bottom,80%,40% # Bottom, 80% height, 40% height
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`--tmux` is silently ignored when you're not on tmux.

`fzf-tmux` script
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
[fzf-tmux](bin/fzf-tmux) is a bash script that opens fzf in a tmux pane.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# usage: fzf-tmux [LAYOUT OPTIONS] [--] [FZF OPTIONS]
|
||||
|

# See available options
|

fzf-tmux --help

git branch | fzf-tmux -d 15

# select multiple words in vertical split on the left (20% of screen width)
|
||||
cat /usr/share/dict/words | fzf-tmux -l 20% --multi --reverse

```

It will still work even when you're not on tmux, silently ignoring `-[pudlr]`

options, so you can invariably use `fzf-tmux` in your scripts.
