Using iTerm2, I have enabled this setting: "Scroll wheel sends arrow keys when in alternate screen mode".

This enables me to scroll inside less using my trackpad or mouse (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/37610820/5932012).

However, when I invoke less from within fzf, this does not work. Instead, crazy things happen:

fzf --bind "enter:execute(echo {} | xargs less)"

Scrolling does work inside the list and preview windows, however.

The --no-mouse option seems to workaround this issue. Not sure if it's an actual fix, though.

Hi everyone! As of today I'm using version 0.33 of fzf, and still got this annoying bug. I'm under macOS Monterey 12.2, using zsh and iTerm2 (build 3.4.16).

I can't use the --no-mouse workaround due to my use case.

Is there anyone else who would work on this? Or has this issue been forget?
