CTRL-R binding used to start with --no-sort to list the matched commands
in chronological order. However, it has been a constant source of
confusion. Let's enable it by default from now on. The sorted result
shouldn't be too confusing as we use --tiebreak=index.
Faster startup. Use internal bash globbing instead of external grep binary (adapter from Gentoo's `/etc/bash/bashrc` TERM checking). Insignificant on Linux, but on Cygwin this cuts startup time by 40 ms on my Core i7 laptop.
Summary:
Fix adapted from [@adamheins: fzf, vi-mode, and fixing delays][1].
[1]: https://adamheins.com/blog/fzf-vi-mode-and-fixing-delays
The basic problem is that
fzf presses <Esc> to enter vi-movement-mode
(as opposed to insert mode)
and then presses a bunch of keys to set up the buffer.
But the <Esc> keypress is also the prefix for a bunch of other commands,
so Bash will dutifully wait an excruciating half-second
before actually executing this command.
Instead, we bind <C-x><C-a>, which is unused by default
and seems reasonably unlikely to be custom-bound,
to be another way to enter vi-movement-mode;
this binding is unambiguous, so fzf can use it without delay.
This change was made by just `:s/\\e/\\C-x\\C-a/gc`
in the relevant section,
after adding the actual binding and comment at the top.
Instead of choosing one at initialization, choose the correct one
when it's actually called, so that the behavior is correct even after
resizing.
Bonus fixes for tmux with bash 4+:
- No extra space when cancelling CTRL-T.
- Fix cursor position problem in vi mode.
- Use symlinks instead of generating the full content
- Update fish_user_paths and remove ~/.config/fish/functions/fzf.fish
- Create wrapper script for fzf when Ruby version and use it instead of
exported function not to break fzf-tmux
