Problem / Steps to reproduce

Hi

I'd like to use vim as a previewer for fzf

fzf --preview='vim -RMn --not-a-terminal {}' --bind shift-up:preview-page-up,shift-down:preview-page-down

But I'm encountering two issues:

• On the top there are the file and folder infos, with also some ANSI characters , that are putted over the text, ruining the readibility if the preview
• The --bind flag seems do not work

So, I'd like to use vim for previews in fzf, with the same behavior of other tools, like bat or cat

Have you considered using scripts like vimcat? (It looks like there are a number of forks and I don't know which one works the best.)

It doesn't work for me Also , a pager is needed to work (with cat , I use piping into less : cat | less )
