Thanks a lot.
- Currently, the
man
page is approximately 20-30 PDF pages long
The point is to prevent users from 1. opening feature requests for features that already exist, 2. asking questions that can easily be answered just by looking at the man page or searching for related issues. We don't owe users anything and our time is precious. By opening an issue, they are demading our limited time and attention for free, so they should at least do some research on their own before doing so.
But yeah, even so we're probably asking for too much (especially for obvious bug reports). Can there be a happy middle ground?
Anyway, merging this, thanks!

Absolutely.
Humor can help nudge someone into doing the right thing.
It turns out that images can be used in an issue template. 😀
description
PR #3687 removed the checkbox that asked the user to verify they have the latest version of fzf. This was due to the introduction of the new
input
field for the 'Output of "fzf --version"', which made the checkbox seem redundant.[ ] I have the latest version of fzf
However, there were minor bug reports where simply updating to a later
fzf
version resolved the issue. Therefore, it might be beneficial to reintroduce this checkbox, but set the validation tofalse
.We could also consider setting the validation for reading the
man
page tofalse
. This would prevent users from being forced to tick the box to open a report, even if they haven't done what the box suggests. Currently, theman
page is approximately 20-30 PDF pages long, so it's understandable if not everything has been read.
