Do fuzzy completion #13

Closed nkh closed 4 years ago

nkh commented 4 years ago

if a program has option --display_some_data it is not possible to find the option with 'dissd', 'dis' does find the option and all other options starting with 'dis' but the bus stops there.

That sounds like you have exact match enabled in fzf (the -e or --exact flag). Can you check your fzf options, in particular $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS and $FZF_COMPLETION_OPTS.

Both are empty, and I use fzf all day long, this is the only place where fuzzy search is not working.

nkh commented 4 years ago

oops! well it seems that I use it all day long via other commands than my own aliased fzf which indeed does have a -e in it.

Checked the environment variables but not the alias. Thanks.
