Option to use keys other than CTRL-A/CTRL-D for select/deselect with Ag? about fzf.vim HOT 17 CLOSED

If anybody else still has this problem and is using iTerm2 and neovim. You can also configure iTerm2 to send an escape sequence, then alt+a and alt+d will also work, see my screenshot! That's how I did it 😄

from fzf.vim.

• Esc+

It is not working macOS 11.5, I opened the key settings in iterm2 profiles, then checked the two Esc+ buttons but still Alt-a does not select all when running Rg query

let $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = '--bind ctrl-a:select-all,ctrl-d:deselect-all' doing this made it work with ctrl key binding, but the option key is not working.

from fzf.vim.

ALT-A and ALT-D generates áã characters respectively. Any ideas?

Yeah, in my case I was constantly annoyed by CTRL-A not moving my cursor to the front, which I do frequently to prepend ' to the query. The keys are not currently configurable, but I'm just going to change them to ALT-A and ALT-D.

Cool, thanks!

Do alt keys work in your terminal at all (e.g., ALT-C)? Check your
terminal settings, there should be a setting for sending meta keys.

neovim/neovim#2440

It's a known issue of neovim and it doesn't look like it's going to be fixed soon-ish. Hmm, maybe I should make the keys configurable for nvim users.

from fzf.vim.

Yes, that is a neovim issue indeed. Most options on fzf#vim functions are hardcoded, even for ag and fzf itself. How can we make those options configurable?

from fzf.vim.

Excerpt from README:

This repository is a bundle of fzf-based commands and mappings extracted from my .vimrc to address such needs. They are not designed to be flexible or configurable, and there's no guarantee of backward-compatibility.

:)

This repository simply provides too many features and trying to make every aspect of it configurable will inevitably make it a big mess. I currently encourage the users to fork it and bend it to their needs. But I do know that many users are not familiar with Vimscript, and I'll think about the options. (and that's the reason I left this issue open.)

from fzf.vim.

By the way, you can already override the default options as each function will append the extra options provided to the default set of options:

call fzf#vim#ag('query', {'options': '--bind ctrl-a:select-all,ctrl-d:deselect-all'})

from fzf.vim.

I agree with you. But at least explain users how they should override current behavior i.e.

command! Search call fzf#vim#ag(<-qargs>, {
  \ 'ag_command': 'ag --hidden %s',
  \ 'fzf_command': 'fzf -m'
  \ })

Better defaults and more flexible overriding instead of a bunch of options.

from fzf.vim.

fzf#vim#ag in particular takes a variable number of arguments, and ag options can be also given as follows:

call fzf#vim#ag('query', '--hidden', {'options': '--bind ctrl-a:select-all,ctrl-d:deselect-all'})

Note that overriding some default options can break the feature as they may affect the sink implementation.

from fzf.vim.

I see. Only problem of fzf#vim#ag function is that escapes the <q-args> by default. If there were an option to disable that it would solve issue #27

from fzf.vim.

Nevermind. I'll use your :Grep command ;)

* `Esc+`

I enabled this and still opt+a don't seem to be working for :Rg select all. Has anyone found a workaround?
