[Q] Is it possible to setup the following behavior without this patch?

[doronbehar]

My desired behavior of this plugin is similar to the original behavior of fzf:

• Tab toggles selection.
• continuous-trigger is disabled.
• Enter puts the selction to the line editor - if none were selected with Tab, then the current line's choice is used.
• Commands are not being run after selection is made - accept-line is disabled.

I didn't manage to play with all the settings and reach this behavior, so I ended up monkey-patching fzf-tab as follows:

diff --git i/lib/-ftb-fzf w/lib/-ftb-fzf
index 49cd277..9b204f9 100755

With no settings other then zstyle ':fzf-tab:*' continuous-trigger "" in my .zshrc. Is it possible to get the behavior I desire without this patch?

Thanks for creating this wonderful plugin!

The default keybinding can be overridden with zstyle ':fzf-tab:*' fzf-flags --bind "tab:toggle"

[doronbehar]

But @Aloxaf --bind and --expect is not the same thing. Also, with the config you suggested, pressing Enter doesn't put the selection to the line editor.

Have you modified fzf's default key bindings elsewhere? According to fzf's documentation, enter is bound to the accept event by default.

No.

I know.. Here's a screencast of what I'm experiencing:

I'm pressing enter in the ls fzf window, and the selections simply unselect themselves. Then I changed fzf-tab to a branch with the diff of the patch I wrote above, and the issue is fixed.

Have you set FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS? It seems that you have something like enter:toggle in fzf options.

Have you set FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS?

Yes, to:
