      echo foo
    )
    
    # New API: multiple fzf arguments before "--"

        --border --height 20 --layout reverse --info inline
    
  • Removed the immediate flicking of the screen on reload action.
    : | 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 +.
    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.
    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.
    # 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
    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.
    # 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.
    # 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)

  • 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

0.18.0

  • Bug fixes and improvements
  • Built with Go 1.12.1

0.17.5

0.17.4

  • Added --layout option with a new layout called reverse-list.
    • --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.

  • $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

0.16.5

  • Minor bug fixes
  • Added toggle-preview-wrap action
  • Built with Go 1.8

  • Bug fixes and improvements

0.16.3

  • Fixed a bug where fzf incorrectly display the lines when straddling tab characters are trimmed
  • Placeholder expression used in --preview and execute action can optionally take + flag to be used with multiple selections
    • e.g. git log --oneline | fzf --multi --preview 'git show {+1}'
  • Added execute-silent action for executing a command silently without switching to the alternate screen. This is useful when the process is short-lived and you're not interested in its output.
    • e.g. fzf --bind 'ctrl-y:execute!(echo -n {} | pbcopy)'
  • ctrl-space is allowed in --bind

0.16.2

  • Dropped ncurses dependency

0.15.8

  • Updated ANSI processor to handle more VT-100 escape sequences
  • Added --no-bold (and --bold) option
  • Improved escape sequence processing for WSL
  • Added support for alt-[0-9], f11, and f12 for --bind and --expect

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

    • {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

  • Preview window is now scrollable
    • With mouse scroll or with bindable actions
      • preview-up
      • preview-down
      • preview-page-up
      • preview-page-down
  • Updated ANSI processor to support high intensity colors and ignore some VT100-related escape sequences

0.15.1

  • Fixed panic when the pattern occurs after 2^15-th column
  • Fixed rendering delay when displaying extremely long lines

0.15.0

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

  • Added jump and jump-accept actions that implement EasyMotion-like movement

0.12.1

  • Ranking algorithm introduced in 0.12.0 is now universally applied
  • Fixed invalid cache reference in exact mode
  • Fixes and improvements in Vim plugin and shell extensions

  • Added --hscroll-off=COL option (default: 10) (#513)
  • Some fixes in Vim plugin and shell extensions

0.11.3

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 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)

0.10.6

  • 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)

  • 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;...;

        • The catch is that it should be the last one in the comma-separated list
  • Added support for optional search history
    • --history HISTORY_FILE

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.

fzf --expect=ctrl-v,ctrl-t,alt-s,f1,f2,~,@

The updated vim plugin uses this option to implement ctrlp-compatible key bindings.

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
