CHANGELOG
0.40.0
0.39.0
- Added
one
event that is triggered when there's only one match
# Automatically select the only match
seq 10 | fzf --bind one:accept
- Added
--track
option that makes fzf track the current selection when the
result list is updated. This can be useful when browsing logs using fzf with
sorting disabled.
git log --oneline --graph --color=always | nl |
fzf --ansi --track --no-sort --layout=reverse-list
- If you use
--listen
option without a port number fzf will automatically
allocate an available port and export it as $FZF_PORT
environment
variable.
# Automatic port assignment
fzf --listen --bind 'start:execute-silent:echo $FZF_PORT > /tmp/fzf-port'
# Say hello
curl "localhost:$(cat /tmp/fzf-port)" -d 'preview:echo Hello, fzf is listening on $FZF_PORT.'
- A carriage return and a line feed character will be rendered as dim ␍ and
␊ respectively.
printf "foo\rbar\nbaz" | fzf --read0 --preview 'echo {}'
- fzf will stop rendering a non-displayable characters as a space. This will
likely cause less glitches in the preview window.
fzf --preview 'head -1000 /dev/random'
- Bug fixes and improvements
0.38.0
- New actions
- Bug fixes
--preview-window 0,hidden
should not execute the preview command until
toggle-preview
action is triggered
0.37.0
0.36.0
- Added
--listen=HTTP_PORT
option to start HTTP server. It allows external
processes to send actions to perform via POST method.
# Start HTTP server on port 6266
fzf --listen 6266
# Send actions to the server
curl -XPOST localhost:6266 -d 'reload(seq 100)+change-prompt(hundred> )'
- Added draggable scrollbar to the main search window and the preview window
# Hide scrollbar
fzf --no-scrollbar
# Customize scrollbar
fzf --scrollbar ┆ --color scrollbar:blue
- New event
- New actions
- Added
pos(...)
action to move the cursor to the numeric position
first
and last
are equivalent to pos(1)
and pos(-1)
respectively
# Put the cursor on the 10th item
seq 100 | fzf --sync --bind 'start:pos(10)'
# Put the cursor on the 10th to last item
seq 100 | fzf --sync --bind 'start:pos(-10)'
- Added
reload-sync(...)
action which replaces the current list only after
the reload process is complete. This is useful when the command takes
a while to produce the initial output and you don't want fzf to run against
an empty list while the command is running.
# You can still filter and select entries from the initial list for 3 seconds
seq 100 | fzf --bind 'load:reload-sync(sleep 3; seq 1000)+unbind(load)'
- Added
next-selected
and prev-selected
actions to move between selected
items
# `next-selected` will move the pointer to the next selected item below the current line
# `prev-selected` will move the pointer to the previous selected item above the current line
seq 10 | fzf --multi --bind ctrl-n:next-selected,ctrl-p:prev-selected
# Both actions respect --layout option
seq 10 | fzf --multi --bind ctrl-n:next-selected,ctrl-p:prev-selected --layout reverse
- Added
change-query(...)
action that simply changes the query string to the
given static string. This can be useful when used with --listen
.
curl localhost:6266 -d "change-query:$(date)"
- Added
transform-prompt(...)
action for transforming the prompt string
using an external command
# Press space to change the prompt string using an external command
# (only the first line of the output is taken)
fzf --bind 'space:reload(ls),load:transform-prompt(printf "%s> " "$(date)")'
- Added
transform-query(...)
action for transforming the query string using
an external command
# Press space to convert the query to uppercase letters
fzf --bind 'space:transform-query(tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" <<< {q})'
# Bind it to 'change' event for automatic conversion
fzf --bind 'change:transform-query(tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" <<< {q})'
# Can only type numbers
fzf --bind 'change:transform-query(sed "s/[^0-9]//g" <<< {q})'
put
action can optionally take an argument string
# a will put 'alpha' on the prompt, ctrl-b will put 'bravo'
fzf --bind 'a:put+put(lpha),ctrl-b:put(bravo)'
- Added color name
preview-label
for --preview-label
(defaults to label
for --border-label
)
- Better support for (Windows) terminals where each box-drawing character
takes 2 columns. Set RUNEWIDTH_EASTASIAN
environment variable to 0
or 1
.
- On Vim, the variable will be automatically set if
&ambiwidth
is double
- Behavior changes
- fzf will always execute the preview command if the command template
contains {q}
even when it's empty. If you prefer the old behavior,
you'll have to check if {q}
is empty in your command.
# This will show // even when the query is empty
: | fzf --preview 'echo /{q}/'
# But if you don't want it,
: | fzf --preview '[ -n {q} ] || exit; echo /{q}/'
double-click
will behave the same as enter
unless otherwise specified,
so you don't have to repeat the same action twice in --bind
in most cases.
# No need to bind 'double-click' to the same action
fzf --bind 'enter:execute:less {}' # --bind 'double-click:execute:less {}'
- If the color for
separator
is not specified, it will default to the
color for border
. Same holds true for scrollbar
. This is to reduce
the number of configuration items required to achieve a consistent color
scheme.
- If
follow
flag is specified in --preview-window
option, fzf will
automatically scroll to the bottom of the streaming preview output. But
when the user manually scrolls the window, the following stops. With
this version, fzf will resume following if the user scrolls the window
to the bottom.
- Default border style on Windows is changed to
sharp
because some
Windows terminals are not capable of displaying rounded
border
characters correctly.
- Minor bug fixes and improvements
0.35.1
- Fixed a bug where fzf with
--tiebreak=chunk
crashes on inverse match query
- Fixed a bug where clicking above fzf would paste escape sequences
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
.
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
# 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="╢ $label ╟" --border-label-pos=-3:bottom --color=label:italic:black
- Also added
--preview-label
and --preview-label-pos
for the border of the
preview window
fzf --preview 'cat {}' --border --preview-label=' Preview ' --preview-label-pos=2
- Info panel (match counter) will be followed by a horizontal separator by
default
- Use
--no-separator
or --separator=''
to hide the separator
- You can specify an arbitrary string that is repeated to form the
horizontal separator. e.g. --separator=╸
- The color of the separator can be customized via
--color=separator:...
- ANSI color codes are also supported
fzf --separator=╸ --color=separator:green
fzf --separator=$(lolcat -f -F 1.4 <<< ▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▆▅▄▃▂▁▁) --info=inline
- Added
--border=bold
and --border=double
along with
--preview-window=border-bold
and --preview-window=border-double
0.34.0
0.33.0
0.32.1
- Fixed incorrect ordering of
--tiebreak=chunk
- fzf-tmux will show fzf border instead of tmux popup border (requires tmux 3.3)
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
- 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
# 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.
# 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
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
|
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
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
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
0.27.1
- Added
unbind
action. In the following Ripgrep launcher example, you can
use unbind(reload)
to switch to fzf-only filtering mode.
- Vim plugin
- Vim plugin will stop immediately even when the source command hasn't finished
" 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
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
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
# 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!)
0.26.0
- Added support for fixed header in preview window
# 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
# 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.
# 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
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
fzf --bind alt-,:first,alt-.:last
0.24.4
- Added
--preview-window
option follow
# 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

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
# 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
# * 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
" 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
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

- fzf-tmux
- Supports tmux popup window (require tmux 3.2 or above)
-
# 50% 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
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
# 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
)
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.
: | 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
)
--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
0.18.0
- Added placeholder expression for zero-based item index:
{n}
and {+n}
fzf --preview 'echo {n}: {}'
- 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
- Built with Go 1.12.1
0.17.5
- Bug fixes and improvements
- Search query longer than the screen width is allowed (up to 300 chars)
- Built with Go 1.11.1
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.
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

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
- Binaries for freebsd, openbsd, arm5, arm6, arm7, and arm8

--filepath-word
to make word-wise movements/actions (alt-b
,
alt-f
, alt-bs
, alt-d
) respect path separators
0.15.9
- Fixed rendering glitches introduced in 0.15.8
- 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
- Can now be built with ncurses 6 or tcell to support extra features
0.15.8
- Updated ANSI processor to handle more VT-100 escape sequences

--no-bold
(and --bold
) option

- 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
- Preview window is now scrollable

jump
and jump-accept
actions that implement EasyMotion-like
movement
0.12.1

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
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

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

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)

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
Minor improvements/fixes

- Fixed ANSI code offset calculation
0.9.11
New features
- Added
--inline-info
option for saving screen estate (#202)
- 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

New features
- Added
--tiebreak
option (#191)
- Added
--no-hscroll
option (#193)
- Visual indication of
--toggle-sort
(#194)
0.9.8
Bug fixes
- Fixed Unicode case handling (#186)
- Fixed to terminate on RuneError (#185)
0.9.7
New features
- Added
--toggle-sort
option (#173)
--toggle-sort=ctrl-r
is applied to CTRL-R
shell extension
Bug fixes
- Fixed to print empty line if
--expect
is set and fzf is completed by
--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.
fzf --expect=ctrl-v,ctrl-t,alt-s,f1,f2,~,@
The updated vim plugin uses this option to implement
ctrlp-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
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
