Key-binding Not Working in a New Session

[WIZARDELF]

The key-binding only works for the session in which FZF is installed: $ fisher add jethrokuan/fzf In a new opened session, FZF cannot be activated by its key-binding, and one has to re-install it.

I guess the following 2 files should be placed into another directory:

~/.config/fish/conf.d/fzf.fish
~/.config/fish/conf.d/fzf_key_bindings.fish

They should be placed under ~/.config/fish/functions/.

You're on an old fish version, new fish automatically loads files in the ~/.config/fish/conf.d folder. The workaround is to add a snippet in your config.fish that sources everything in conf.d, but you should upgrade your fish version.

I believe my box has the latest stable fish:

$ fish --version
fish, version 3.1.0

My workaround is: $ source ~/.config/fish/conf.d/fzf_key_bindings.fish

@Kejia What's your version of fisher?

[WIZARDELF]

@jorgebucaran my fisher is:

$ fisher --version
fisher version 3.2.10 ~/.config/fish/functions/fisher.fish

Not sure what's happening, sorry. Maybe you upgraded from an old fisher (2.x), have an unusual configuration, or something else in your system is interfering with configuration snippets.

They should be placed under ~/.config/fish/functions/.

Nope. Those files are where they should be.

I found the reason: I had a key-binding collision in my sys. After I changed my key-binding in ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish, I don't have to manually source the ~/conf.d/fzf_key_bindings.fish file now:

function fish_user_key_bindings
    bind \cg __fish_cancel_commandline
    bind \cr up-or-search
    # bind \cs down-or-search # disable this for fzf
end

So, close this issue.
