CHANGELOG
=========
0.35.0
------
- Added `start` event that is triggered only once when fzf finder starts.
Since fzf consumes the input stream asynchronously, the input list is not
available unless you use `--sync`.
```sh
seq 100 | fzf --multi --sync --bind 'start:last+select-all+preview(echo welcome)'
```
- Added `--border-label` and `--border-label-pos` for putting label on the border
```sh
# ANSI color codes are supported
# (with https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat)
label=$(curl -s http://metaphorpsum.com/sentences/1 | lolcat -f)
# Border label at the center
fzf --height=10 --border --border-label="╢ $label ╟" --color=label:italic:black
# Left-aligned (positive integer)
fzf --height=10 --border --border-label="╢ $label ╟" --border-label-pos=3 --color=label:italic:black
# Right-aligned (negative integer) on the bottom line (:bottom)
fzf --height=10 --border --border-label="╢ $label ╟" --border-label-pos=-3:bottom --color=label:italic:black
```
- Also added `--preview-label` and `--preview-label-pos` for the border of the
preview window
```sh
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --border --preview-label=' Preview ' --preview-label-pos=2
```
- Info panel (counter) will be followed by a horizontal separator by default
- The color of the separator can be customized via `--color=separator:...`
- Separator can be disabled by adding `:nosep` to `--info`
- `--info=nosep`
- `--info=inline:nosep`
0.34.0
------
- Added support for adaptive `--height`. If the `--height` value is prefixed
with `~`, fzf will automatically determine the height in the range according
to the input size.
```sh
seq 1 | fzf --height ~70% --border --padding 1 --margin 1
seq 10 | fzf --height ~70% --border --padding 1 --margin 1
seq 100 | fzf --height ~70% --border --padding 1 --margin 1
```
- There are a few limitations
- Not compatible with percent top/bottom margin/padding
```sh
# This is not allowed (top/bottom margin in percent value)
fzf --height ~50% --border --margin 5%,10%
# This is allowed (top/bottom margin in fixed value)
fzf --height ~50% --border --margin 2,10%
```
- fzf will not start until it can determine the right height for the input
```sh
# fzf will open immediately
(sleep 2; seq 10) | fzf --height 50%
# fzf will open after 2 seconds
(sleep 2; seq 10) | fzf --height ~50%
(sleep 2; seq 1000) | fzf --height ~50%
```
- Fixed tcell renderer used to render full-screen fzf on Windows
- `--no-clear` is deprecated. Use `reload` action instead.
0.33.0
------
- Added `--scheme=[default|path|history]` option to choose scoring scheme
- (Experimental)
- We updated the scoring algorithm in 0.32.0, however we have learned that
this new scheme (`default`) is not always giving the optimal result
- `path`: Additional bonus point is only given to the characters after
path separator. You might want to choose this scheme if you have many
files with spaces in their paths.
- `history`: No additional bonus points are given so that we give more
weight to the chronological ordering. This is equivalent to the scoring
scheme before 0.32.0. This also sets `--tiebreak=index`.
- ANSI color sequences with colon delimiters are now supported.
```sh
printf "\e[38;5;208mOption 1\e[m\nOption 2" | fzf --ansi
printf "\e[38:5:208mOption 1\e[m\nOption 2" | fzf --ansi
```
- Support `border-{up,down}` as the synonyms for `border-{top,bottom}` in
`--preview-window`
- Added support for ANSI `strikethrough`
```sh
printf "\e[9mdeleted" | fzf --ansi
fzf --color fg+:strikethrough
```
0.32.1
------
- Fixed incorrect ordering of `--tiebreak=chunk`
- fzf-tmux will show fzf border instead of tmux popup border (requires tmux 3.3)
```sh
fzf-tmux -p70%
fzf-tmux -p70% --color=border:bright-red
fzf-tmux -p100%,60% --color=border:bright-yellow --border=horizontal --padding 1,5 --margin 1,0
fzf-tmux -p70%,100% --color=border:bright-green --border=vertical
# Key bindings (CTRL-T, CTRL-R, ALT-C) will use these options
export FZF_TMUX_OPTS='-p100%,60% --color=border:green --border=horizontal --padding 1,5 --margin 1,0'
```
0.32.0
------
- Updated the scoring algorithm
- Different bonus points to different categories of word boundaries
(listed higher to lower bonus point)
- Word after whitespace characters or beginning of the string
- Word after common delimiter characters (`/,:;|`)
- Word after other non-word characters
```sh
# foo/bar.sh` is preferred over `foo-bar.sh` on `bar`
fzf --query=bar --height=4 << EOF
foo-bar.sh
foo/bar.sh
EOF
```
- Added a new tiebreak `chunk`
- Favors the line with shorter matched chunk. A chunk is a set of
consecutive non-whitespace characters.
- Unlike the default `length`, this scheme works well with tabular input
```sh
# length prefers item #1, because the whole line is shorter,
# chunk prefers item #2, because the matched chunk ("foo") is shorter
fzf --height=6 --header-lines=2 --tiebreak=chunk --reverse --query=fo << "EOF"
N | Field1 | Field2 | Field3
- | ------ | ------ | ------
1 | hello | foobar | baz
2 | world | foo | bazbaz
EOF
```
- If the input does not contain any spaces, `chunk` is equivalent to
`length`. But we're not going to set it as the default because it is
computationally more expensive.
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.31.0
------
- Added support for an alternative preview window layout that is activated
when the size of the preview window is smaller than a certain threshold.
```sh
# If the width of the preview window is smaller than 50 columns,
# it will be displayed above the search window.
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window 'right,50%,border-left,<50(up,30%,border-bottom)'
# Or you can just hide it like so
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window '<50(hidden)'
```
- fzf now uses SGR mouse mode to properly support mouse on larger terminals
- You can now use characters that do not satisfy `unicode.IsGraphic` constraint
for `--marker`, `--pointer`, and `--ellipsis`. Allows Nerd Fonts and stuff.
Use at your own risk.
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Shell extension
- `kill` completion now requires trigger sequence (`**`) for consistency
0.30.0
------
- Fixed cursor flickering over the screen by hiding it during rendering
- Added `--ellipsis` option. You can take advantage of it to make fzf
effectively search non-visible parts of the item.
```sh
# Search against hidden line numbers on the far right
nl /usr/share/dict/words |
awk '{printf "%s%1000s\n", $2, $1}' |
fzf --nth=-1 --no-hscroll --ellipsis='' |
awk '{print $2}'
```
- Added `rebind` action for restoring bindings after `unbind`
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.29.0
------
- Added `change-preview(...)` action to change the `--preview` command
- cf. `preview(...)` is a one-off action that doesn't change the default
preview command
- Added `change-preview-window(...)` action
- You can rotate through the different options separated by `|`
```sh
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window right:40% \
--bind 'ctrl-/:change-preview-window(right,70%|down,40%,border-top|hidden|)'
```
- Fixed rendering of the prompt line when overflow occurs with `--info=inline`
0.28.0
------
- Added `--header-first` option to print header before the prompt line
```sh
fzf --header $'Welcome to fzf\n▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔' --reverse --height 30% --border --header-first
```
- Added `--scroll-off=LINES` option (similar to `scrolloff` option of Vim)
- You can set it to a very large number so that the cursor stays in the
middle of the screen while scrolling
```sh
fzf --scroll-off=5
fzf --scroll-off=999
```
- Fixed bug where preview window is not updated on `reload` (#2644)
- fzf on Windows will also use `$SHELL` to execute external programs
- See #2638 and #2647
- Thanks to @rashil2000, @vovcacik, and @janlazo
0.27.3
------
- Preview window is `hidden` by default when there are `preview` bindings but
`--preview` command is not given
- Fixed bug where `{n}` is not properly reset on `reload`
- Fixed bug where spinner is not displayed on `reload`
- Enhancements in tcell renderer for Windows (#2616)
- Vim plugin
- `sinklist` is added as a synonym to `sink*` so that it's easier to add
a function to a spec dictionary
```vim
let spec = { 'source': 'ls', 'options': ['--multi', '--preview', 'cat {}'] }
function spec.sinklist(matches)
echom string(a:matches)
endfunction
call fzf#run(fzf#wrap(spec))
```
- Vim 7 compatibility
0.27.2
------
- 16 base ANSI colors can be specified by their names
```sh
fzf --color fg:3,fg+:11
fzf --color fg:yellow,fg+:bright-yellow
```
- Fix bug where `--read0` not properly displaying long lines
0.27.1
------
- Added `unbind` action. In the following Ripgrep launcher example, you can
use `unbind(reload)` to switch to fzf-only filtering mode.
- See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/ADVANCED.md#switching-to-fzf-only-search-mode
- Vim plugin
- Vim plugin will stop immediately even when the source command hasn't finished
```vim
" fzf will read the stream file while allowing other processes to append to it
call fzf#run({'source': 'cat /dev/null > /tmp/stream; tail -f /tmp/stream'})
```
- It is now possible to open popup window relative to the current window
```vim
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.9, 'height': 0.6, 'relative': v:true, 'yoffset': 1.0 } }
```
0.27.0
------
- More border options for `--preview-window`
```sh
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window border-left
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window border-left --border horizontal
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window top:border-bottom
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-window top:border-horizontal
```
- Automatically set `/dev/tty` as STDIN on execute action
```sh
# Redirect /dev/tty to suppress "Vim: Warning: Input is not from a terminal"
# ls | fzf --bind "enter:execute(vim {} < /dev/tty)"
# "< /dev/tty" part is no longer needed
ls | fzf --bind "enter:execute(vim {})"
```
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Signed and notarized macOS binaries
(Huge thanks to [BACKERS.md](https://github.com/junegunn/junegunn/blob/main/BACKERS.md)!)
0.26.0
------
- Added support for fixed header in preview window
```sh
# Display top 3 lines as the fixed header
fzf --preview 'bat --style=header,grid --color=always {}' --preview-window '~3'
```
- More advanced preview offset expression to better support the fixed header
```sh
# Preview with bat, matching line in the middle of the window below
# the fixed header of the top 3 lines
#
# ~3 Top 3 lines as the fixed header
# +{2} Base scroll offset extracted from the second field
# +3 Extra offset to compensate for the 3-line header
# /2 Put in the middle of the preview area
#
git grep --line-number '' |
fzf --delimiter : \
--preview 'bat --style=full --color=always --highlight-line {2} {1}' \
--preview-window '~3:+{2}+3/2'
```
- Added `select` and `deselect` action for unconditionally selecting or
deselecting a single item in `--multi` mode. Complements `toggle` action.
- Significant performance improvement in ANSI code processing
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Built with Go 1.16
0.25.1
------
- Added `close` action
- Close preview window if open, abort fzf otherwise
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.25.0
------
- Text attributes set in `--color` are not reset when fzf sees another
`--color` option for the same element. This allows you to put custom text
attributes in your `$FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS` and still have those attributes
even when you override the colors.
```sh
# Default colors and attributes
fzf
# Apply custom text attributes
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--color fg+:italic,hl:-1:underline,hl+:-1:reverse:underline'
fzf
# Different colors but you still have the attributes
fzf --color hl:176,hl+:177
# Write "regular" if you want to clear the attributes
fzf --color hl:176:regular,hl+:177:regular
```
- Renamed `--phony` to `--disabled`
- You can dynamically enable and disable the search functionality using the
new `enable-search`, `disable-search`, and `toggle-search` actions
- You can assign a different color to the query string for when search is disabled
```sh
fzf --color query:#ffffff,disabled:#999999 --bind space:toggle-search
```
- Added `last` action to move the cursor to the last match
- The opposite action `top` is renamed to `first`, but `top` is still
recognized as a synonym for backward compatibility
- Added `preview-top` and `preview-bottom` actions
- Extended support for alt key chords: alt with any case-sensitive single character
```sh
fzf --bind alt-,:first,alt-.:last
```
0.24.4
------
- Added `--preview-window` option `follow`
```sh
# Preview window will automatically scroll to the bottom
fzf --preview-window follow --preview 'for i in $(seq 100000); do
echo "$i"
sleep 0.01
(( i % 300 == 0 )) && printf "\033[2J"
done'
```
- Added `change-prompt` action
```sh
fzf --prompt 'foo> ' --bind $'a:change-prompt:\x1b[31mbar> '
```
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.24.3
------
- Added `--padding` option
```sh
fzf --margin 5% --padding 5% --border --preview 'cat {}' \
--color bg:#222222,preview-bg:#333333
```
0.24.2
------
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.24.1
------
- Fixed broken `--color=[bw|no]` option
0.24.0
------
- Real-time rendering of preview window
```sh
# fzf can render preview window before the command completes
fzf --preview 'sleep 1; for i in $(seq 100); do echo $i; sleep 0.01; done'
# Preview window can process ANSI escape sequence (CSI 2 J) for clearing the display
fzf --preview 'for i in $(seq 100000); do
(( i % 200 == 0 )) && printf "\033[2J"
echo "$i"
sleep 0.01
done'
```
- Updated `--color` option to support text styles
- `regular` / `bold` / `dim` / `underline` / `italic` / `reverse` / `blink`
```sh
# * Set -1 to keep the original color
# * Multiple style attributes can be combined
# * Italic style may not be supported by some terminals
rg --line-number --no-heading --color=always "" |
fzf --ansi --prompt "Rg: " \
--color fg+:italic,hl:underline:-1,hl+:italic:underline:reverse:-1 \
--color pointer:reverse,prompt:reverse,input:159 \
--pointer ' '
```
- More `--border` options
- `vertical`, `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right`
- Updated Vim plugin to use these new `--border` options
```vim
" Floating popup window in the center of the screen
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.9, 'height': 0.6 } }
" Popup with 100% width
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 1.0, 'height': 0.5, 'border': 'horizontal' } }
" Popup with 100% height
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.5, 'height': 1.0, 'border': 'vertical' } }
" Similar to 'down' layout, but it uses a popup window and doesn't affect the window layout
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 1.0, 'height': 0.5, 'yoffset': 1.0, 'border': 'top' } }
" Opens on the right;
" 'highlight' option is still supported but it will only take the foreground color of the group
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.5, 'height': 1.0, 'xoffset': 1.0, 'border': 'left', 'highlight': 'Comment' } }
```
- To indicate if `--multi` mode is enabled, fzf will print the number of
selected items even when no item is selected
```sh
seq 100 | fzf
# 100/100
seq 100 | fzf --multi
# 100/100 (0)
seq 100 | fzf --multi 5
# 100/100 (0/5)
```
- Since 0.24.0, release binaries will be uploaded to https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/releases
0.23.1
------
- Added `--preview-window` options for disabling flags
- `nocycle`
- `nohidden`
- `nowrap`
- `default`
- Built with Go 1.14.9 due to performance regression
- https://github.com/golang/go/issues/40727
0.23.0
------
- Support preview scroll offset relative to window height
```sh
git grep --line-number '' |
fzf --delimiter : \
--preview 'bat --style=numbers --color=always --highlight-line {2} {1}' \
--preview-window +{2}-/2
```
- Added `--preview-window` option for sharp edges (`--preview-window sharp`)
- Added `--preview-window` option for cyclic scrolling (`--preview-window cycle`)
- Reduced vertical padding around the preview window when `--preview-window
noborder` is used
- Added actions for preview window
- `preview-half-page-up`
- `preview-half-page-down`
- Vim
- Popup width and height can be given in absolute integer values
- Added `fzf#exec()` function for getting the path of fzf executable
- It also downloads the latest binary if it's not available by running
`./install --bin`
- Built with Go 1.15.2
- We no longer provide 32-bit binaries
0.22.0
------
- Added more options for `--bind`
- `backward-eof` event
```sh
# Aborts when you delete backward when the query prompt is already empty
fzf --bind backward-eof:abort
```
- `refresh-preview` action
```sh
# Rerun preview command when you hit '?'
fzf --preview 'echo $RANDOM' --bind '?:refresh-preview'
```
- `preview` action
```sh
# Default preview command with an extra preview binding
fzf --preview 'file {}' --bind '?:preview:cat {}'
# A preview binding with no default preview command
# (Preview window is initially empty)
fzf --bind '?:preview:cat {}'
# Preview window hidden by default, it appears when you first hit '?'
fzf --bind '?:preview:cat {}' --preview-window hidden
```
- Added preview window option for setting the initial scroll offset
```sh
# Initial scroll offset is set to the line number of each line of
# git grep output *minus* 5 lines
git grep --line-number '' |
fzf --delimiter : --preview 'nl {1}' --preview-window +{2}-5
```
- Added support for ANSI colors in `--prompt` string
- Smart match of accented characters
- An unaccented character in the query string will match both accented and
unaccented characters, while an accented character will only match
accented characters. This is similar to how "smart-case" match works.
- Vim plugin
- `tmux` layout option for using fzf-tmux
```vim
let g:fzf_layout = { 'tmux': '-p90%,60%' }
```
0.21.1
------
- Shell extension
- CTRL-R will remove duplicate commands
- fzf-tmux
- Supports tmux popup window (require tmux 3.2 or above)
- ```sh
# 50% width and height
fzf-tmux -p
# 80% width and height
fzf-tmux -p 80%
# 80% width and 40% height
fzf-tmux -p 80%,40%
fzf-tmux -w 80% -h 40%
# Window position
fzf-tmux -w 80% -h 40% -x 0 -y 0
fzf-tmux -w 80% -h 40% -y 1000
# Write ordinary fzf options after --
fzf-tmux -p -- --reverse --info=inline --margin 2,4 --border
```
- On macOS, you can build the latest tmux from the source with
`brew install tmux --HEAD`
- Bug fixes
- Fixed Windows file traversal not to include directories
- Fixed ANSI colors with `--keep-right`
- Fixed _fzf_complete for zsh
- Built with Go 1.14.1
0.21.0
------
- `--height` option is now available on Windows as well (@kelleyma49)
- Added `--pointer` and `--marker` options
- Added `--keep-right` option that keeps the right end of the line visible
when it's too long
- Style changes
- `--border` will now print border with rounded corners around the
finder instead of printing horizontal lines above and below it.
The previous style is available via `--border=horizontal`
- Unicode spinner
- More keys and actions for `--bind`
- Added PowerShell script for downloading Windows binary
- Vim plugin: Built-in floating windows support
```vim
let g:fzf_layout = { 'window': { 'width': 0.9, 'height': 0.6 } }
```
- bash: Various improvements in key bindings (CTRL-T, CTRL-R, ALT-C)
- CTRL-R will start with the current command-line as the initial query
- CTRL-R properly supports multi-line commands
- Fuzzy completion API changed
```sh
# Previous: fzf arguments given as a single string argument
# - This style is still supported, but it's deprecated
_fzf_complete "--multi --reverse --prompt=\"doge> \"" "$@" < <(
echo foo
)
# New API: multiple fzf arguments before "--"
# - Easier to write multiple options
_fzf_complete --multi --reverse --prompt="doge> " -- "$@" < <(
echo foo
)
```
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.20.0
------
- Customizable preview window color (`preview-fg` and `preview-bg` for `--color`)
```sh
fzf --preview 'cat {}' \
--color 'fg:#bbccdd,fg+:#ddeeff,bg:#334455,preview-bg:#223344,border:#778899' \
--border --height 20 --layout reverse --info inline
```
- Removed the immediate flicking of the screen on `reload` action.
```sh
: | fzf --bind 'change:reload:seq {q}' --phony
```
- Added `clear-query` and `clear-selection` actions for `--bind`
- It is now possible to split a composite bind action over multiple `--bind`
expressions by prefixing the later ones with `+`.
```sh
fzf --bind 'ctrl-a:up+up'
# Can be now written as
fzf --bind 'ctrl-a:up' --bind 'ctrl-a:+up'
# This is useful when you need to write special execute/reload form (i.e. `execute:...`)
# to avoid parse errors and add more actions to the same key
fzf --multi --bind 'ctrl-l:select-all+execute:less {+f}' --bind 'ctrl-l:+deselect-all'
```
- Fixed parse error of `--bind` expression where concatenated execute/reload
action contains `+` character.
```sh
fzf --multi --bind 'ctrl-l:select-all+execute(less {+f})+deselect-all'
```
- Fixed bugs of reload action
- Not triggered when there's no match even when the command doesn't have
any placeholder expressions
- Screen not properly cleared when `--header-lines` not filled on reload
0.19.0
------
- Added `--phony` option which completely disables search functionality.
Useful when you want to use fzf only as a selector interface. See below.
- Added "reload" action for dynamically updating the input list without
restarting fzf. See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/1750 to learn
more about it.
```sh
# Using fzf as the selector interface for ripgrep
RG_PREFIX="rg --column --line-number --no-heading --color=always --smart-case "
INITIAL_QUERY="foo"
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="$RG_PREFIX '$INITIAL_QUERY' || true" \
fzf --bind "change:reload:$RG_PREFIX {q} || true" \
--ansi --phony --query "$INITIAL_QUERY"
```
- `--multi` now takes an optional integer argument which indicates the maximum
number of items that can be selected
```sh
seq 100 | fzf --multi 3 --reverse --height 50%
```
- If a placeholder expression for `--preview` and `execute` action (and the
new `reload` action) contains `f` flag, it is replaced to the
path of a temporary file that holds the evaluated list. This is useful
when you multi-select a large number of items and the length of the
evaluated string may exceed [`ARG_MAX`][argmax].
```sh
# Press CTRL-A to select 100K items and see the sum of all the numbers
seq 100000 | fzf --multi --bind ctrl-a:select-all \
--preview "awk '{sum+=\$1} END {print sum}' {+f}"
```
- `deselect-all` no longer deselects unmatched items. It is now consistent
with `select-all` and `toggle-all` in that it only affects matched items.
- Due to the limitation of bash, fuzzy completion is enabled by default for
a fixed set of commands. A helper function for easily setting up fuzzy
completion for any command is now provided.
```sh
# usage: _fzf_setup_completion path|dir COMMANDS...
_fzf_setup_completion path git kubectl
```
- Info line style can be changed by `--info=STYLE`
- `--info=default`
- `--info=inline` (same as old `--inline-info`)
- `--info=hidden`
- Preview window border can be disabled by adding `noborder` to
`--preview-window`.
- When you transform the input with `--with-nth`, the trailing white spaces
are removed.
- `ctrl-\`, `ctrl-]`, `ctrl-^`, and `ctrl-/` can now be used with `--bind`
- See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/milestone/15?closed=1 for more details
[argmax]: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/120642/what-defines-the-maximum-size-for-a-command-single-argument

- Added color option for the gutter: `--color gutter:-1`
- Added `--no-unicode` option for drawing borders in non-Unicode, ASCII
characters
- `FZF_PREVIEW_LINES` and `FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS` are exported to preview process
- fzf still overrides `LINES` and `COLUMNS` as before, but they may be
reset by the default shell.
- Bug fixes and improvements
- See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/milestone/14?closed=1
- Built with Go 1.12.1
0.17.5

- `--layout=reverse` is a synonym for `--reverse`
- `--layout=default` is a synonym for `--no-reverse`
- Preview window will be updated even when there is no match for the query
if any of the placeholder expressions (e.g. `{q}`, `{+}`) evaluates to
a non-empty string.
- More keys for binding: `shift-{up,down}`, `alt-{up,down,left,right}`
- fzf can now start even when `/dev/tty` is not available by making an
educated guess.
- Updated the default command for Windows.
- Fixes and improvements on bash/zsh completion
- install and uninstall scripts now supports generating files under
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` on `--xdg` flag.
See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/milestone/12?closed=1 for the full list of
changes.
0.17.3
------
- `$LINES` and `$COLUMNS` are exported to preview command so that the command
knows the exact size of the preview window.
- Better error messages when the default command or `$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND`
fails.
- Reverted #1061 to avoid having duplicate entries in the list when find
command detected a file system loop (#1120). The default command now
requires that find supports `-fstype` option.
- fzf now distinguishes mouse left click and right click (#1130)
- Right click is now bound to `toggle` action by default
- `--bind` understands `left-click` and `right-click`
- Added `replace-query` action (#1137)
- Replaces query string with the current selection
- Added `accept-non-empty` action (#1162)
- Same as accept, except that it prevents fzf from exiting without any
selection

- Added `half-page-up` and `half-page-down` actions
- Added `-L` flag to the default find command

- fzf can now display finder without occupying the full screen
- Preview window will truncate long lines by default. Line wrap can be enabled
by `:wrap` flag in `--preview-window`.

- The default escape delay is reduced to 50ms and is configurable via
`$ESCDELAY`
- Scroll indicator at the top-right corner of the preview window is always
displayed when there's overflow

- Improved escape sequence processing for WSL
- Added support for `alt-[0-9]`, `f11`, and `f12` for `--bind` and `--expect`
0.15.7
------

0.15.6
------
- Windows binaries! (@kelleyma49)
- Fixed the bug where header lines are cleared when preview window is toggled
- Fixed not to display ^N and ^O on screen
- Fixed cursor keys (or any key sequence that starts with ESC) on WSL by
making fzf wait for additional keystrokes after ESC for up to 100ms
0.15.5
------
- Setting foreground color will no longer set background color to black
- e.g. `fzf --color fg:153`
- `--tiebreak=end` will consider relative position instead of absolute distance
- Updated `fzf#wrap` function to respect `g:fzf_colors`
0.15.4
------
- Added support for range expression in preview and execute action
- e.g. `ls -l | fzf --preview="echo user={3} when={-4..-2}; cat {-1}" --header-lines=1`
- `{q}` will be replaced to the single-quoted string of the current query
- Fixed to properly handle unicode whitespace characters
- Display scroll indicator in preview window
- Inverse search term will use exact matcher by default
- This is a breaking change, but I believe it makes much more sense. It is
almost impossible to predict which entries will be filtered out due to
a fuzzy inverse term. You can still perform inverse-fuzzy-match by
prepending `!'` to the term.
0.15.3
------
- Added support for more ANSI attributes: dim, underline, blink, and reverse
- Fixed race condition in `toggle-preview`
0.15.2

- Fixed rendering delay when displaying extremely long lines
0.15.0
------
- Improved fuzzy search algorithm
- Added `--algo=[v1|v2]` option so one can still choose the old algorithm
which values the search performance over the quality of the result
- Advanced scoring criteria
- `--read0` to read input delimited by ASCII NUL character
- `--print0` to print output delimited by ASCII NUL character
0.13.5
------
- Memory and performance optimization
- Up to 2x performance with half the amount of memory
0.13.4
------
- Performance optimization
- Memory footprint for ascii string is reduced by 60%
- 15 to 20% improvement of query performance
- Up to 45% better performance of `--nth` with non-regex delimiters
- Fixed invalid handling of `hidden` property of `--preview-window`
0.13.3
------
- Fixed duplicate rendering of the last line in preview window

- Fixed invalid cache reference in exact mode
- Fixes and improvements in Vim plugin and shell extensions
0.12.0
------
- Enhanced ranking algorithm
- Minor bug fixes
0.11.4
------
- Added `--hscroll-off=COL` option (default: 10) (#513)
- Some fixes in Vim plugin and shell extensions
0.11.3
------
- Graceful exit on SIGTERM (#482)
- `$SHELL` instead of `sh` for `execute` action and `$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND` (#481)
- Changes in fuzzy completion API
- [`_fzf_compgen_{path,dir}`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/commit/9617647)
- [`_fzf_complete_COMMAND_post`](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/commit/8206746)
for post-processing
0.11.2
------
- `--tiebreak` now accepts comma-separated list of sort criteria
- Each criterion should appear only once in the list
- `index` is only allowed at the end of the list
- `index` is implicitly appended to the list when not specified
- Default is `length` (or equivalently `length,index`)
- `begin` criterion will ignore leading whitespaces when calculating the index
- Added `toggle-in` and `toggle-out` actions
- Switch direction depending on `--reverse`-ness
- `export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--bind tab:toggle-out,shift-tab:toggle-in"`
- Reduced the initial delay when `--tac` is not given
- fzf defers the initial rendering of the screen up to 100ms if the input
stream is ongoing to prevent unnecessary redraw during the initial
phase. However, 100ms delay is quite noticeable and might give the
impression that fzf is not snappy enough. This commit reduces the
maximum delay down to 20ms when `--tac` is not specified, in which case
the input list quickly fills the entire screen.
0.11.1
------
- Added `--tabstop=SPACES` option
0.11.0
------
- Added OR operator for extended-search mode
- Added `--execute-multi` action
- Fixed incorrect cursor position when unicode wide characters are used in
`--prompt`
- Fixes and improvements in shell extensions
0.10.9
------
- Extended-search mode is now enabled by default
- `--extended-exact` is deprecated and instead we have `--exact` for
orthogonally controlling "exactness" of search
- Fixed not to display non-printable characters
- Added `double-click` for `--bind` option
- More robust handling of SIGWINCH
0.10.8
------
- Fixed panic when trying to set colors after colors are disabled (#370)
0.10.7
------
- Fixed unserialized interrupt handling during execute action which often
caused invalid memory access and crash
- Changed `--tiebreak=length` (default) to use trimmed length when `--nth` is
used
0.10.6
------
- Replaced `--header-file` with `--header` option
- `--header` and `--header-lines` can be used together
- Changed exit status
- 0: Okay
- 1: No match
- 2: Error
- 130: Interrupted
- 64-bit linux binary is statically-linked with ncurses to avoid
compatibility issues.
0.10.5
------
- `'`-prefix to unquote the term in `--extended-exact` mode
- Backward scan when `--tiebreak=end` is set
0.10.4
------
- Fixed to remove ANSI code from output when `--with-nth` is set
0.10.3
------
- Fixed slow performance of `--with-nth` when used with `--delimiter`
- Regular expression engine of Golang as of now is very slow, so the fixed
version will treat the given delimiter pattern as a plain string instead
of a regular expression unless it contains special characters and is
a valid regular expression.
- Simpler regular expression for delimiter for better performance
0.10.2
------
### Fixes and improvements
- Improvement in perceived response time of queries
- Eager, efficient rune array conversion
- Graceful exit when failed to initialize ncurses (invalid $TERM)

start with dash
0.10.1
------
### New features
- Added `--margin` option
- Added options for sticky header
- `--header-file`
- `--header-lines`
- Added `cancel` action which clears the input or closes the finder when the
input is already empty
- e.g. `export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--bind esc:cancel"`
- Added `delete-char/eof` action to differentiate `CTRL-D` and `DEL`
### Minor improvements/fixes
- Fixed to allow binding colon and comma keys
- Fixed ANSI processor to handle color regions spanning multiple lines
0.10.0
------
### New features
- More actions for `--bind`
- `select-all`
- `deselect-all`
- `toggle-all`
- `ignore`
- `execute(...)` action for running arbitrary command without leaving fzf
- `fzf --bind "ctrl-m:execute(less {})"`
- `fzf --bind "ctrl-t:execute(tmux new-window -d 'vim {}')"`
- If the command contains parentheses, use any of the follows alternative
notations to avoid parse errors
- `execute[...]`
- `execute~...~`
- `execute!...!`
- `execute@...@`
- `execute#...#`
- `execute$...$`
- `execute%...%`
- `execute^...^`
- `execute&...&`
- `execute*...*`
- `execute;...;`
- `execute/.../`
- `execute|...|`
- `execute:...`
- This is the special form that frees you from parse errors as it
does not expect the closing character
- The catch is that it should be the last one in the
comma-separated list
- Added support for optional search history
- `--history HISTORY_FILE`
- When used, `CTRL-N` and `CTRL-P` are automatically remapped to
`next-history` and `previous-history`
- `--history-size MAX_ENTRIES` (default: 1000)
- Cyclic scrolling can be enabled with `--cycle`
- Fixed the bug where the spinner was not spinning on idle input stream
- e.g. `sleep 100 | fzf`
### Minor improvements/fixes
- Added synonyms for key names that can be specified for `--bind`,
`--toggle-sort`, and `--expect`
- Fixed the color of multi-select marker on the current line
- Fixed to allow `^pattern$` in extended-search mode

- Useful inside Neovim
- e.g. `let $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS.' --inline-info'`
### Bug fixes
- Invalid mutation of input on case conversion (#209)
- Smart-case for each term in extended-search mode (#208)
- Fixed double-click result when scroll offset is positive
0.9.10
------
### Improvements

0.9.9
-----
### New features
- Added `--tiebreak` option (#191)
- Added `--no-hscroll` option (#193)
- Visual indication of `--toggle-sort` (#194)
0.9.8
-----

`--select-1` or `--exit-0` (#172)
- Fixed to allow comma character as an argument to `--expect` option
0.9.6
-----
### New features
#### Added `--expect` option (#163)
If you provide a comma-separated list of keys with `--expect` option, fzf will
allow you to select the match and complete the finder when any of the keys is
pressed. Additionally, fzf will print the name of the key pressed as the first
line of the output so that your script can decide what to do next based on the
information.
```sh
fzf --expect=ctrl-v,ctrl-t,alt-s,f1,f2,~,@
```
The updated vim plugin uses this option to implement
[ctrlp](https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim)-compatible key bindings.
### Bug fixes
- Fixed to ignore ANSI escape code `\e[K` (#162)
0.9.5
-----
### New features
#### Added `--ansi` option (#150)
If you give `--ansi` option to fzf, fzf will interpret ANSI color codes from
the input, display the item with the ANSI colors (true colors are not
supported), and strips the codes from the output. This option is off by
default as it entails some overhead.
### Improvements
#### Reduced initial memory footprint (#151)
By removing unnecessary copy of pointers, fzf will use significantly smaller
amount of memory when it's started. The difference is hugely noticeable when
the input is extremely large. (e.g. `locate / | fzf`)
### Bug fixes
- Fixed panic on `--no-sort --filter ''` (#149)
0.9.4
-----
### New features
#### Added `--tac` option to reverse the order of the input.
One might argue that this option is unnecessary since we can already put `tac`
or `tail -r` in the command pipeline to achieve the same result. However, the
advantage of `--tac` is that it does not block until the input is complete.
### *Backward incompatible changes*
#### Changed behavior on `--no-sort`
`--no-sort` option will no longer reverse the display order within finder. You
may want to use the new `--tac` option with `--no-sort`.
```
history | fzf +s --tac
```
### Improvements
#### `--filter` will not block when sort is disabled
When fzf works in filtering mode (`--filter`) and sort is disabled
(`--no-sort`), there's no need to block until input is complete. The new
version of fzf will print the matches on-the-fly when the following condition
is met:
--filter TERM --no-sort [--no-tac --no-sync]
or simply:
-f TERM +s
This change removes unnecessary delay in the use cases like the following:
fzf -f xxx +s | head -5
However, in this case, fzf processes the lines sequentially, so it cannot
utilize multiple cores, and fzf will run slightly slower than the previous
mode of execution where filtering is done in parallel after the entire input
is loaded. If the user is concerned about this performance problem, one can
add `--sync` option to re-enable buffering.
0.9.3
-----
### New features
- Added `--sync` option for multi-staged filtering
### Improvements
- `--select-1` and `--exit-0` will start finder immediately when the condition
cannot be met
