<prefix> + Ctrl + F not launching tmux-fzf

[matan-arkin]

Hi,

I just followed the instructions to install tmux-fzf using TPM. To the best of my knowledge, all requirements are satisfied. I'm running Ubuntu 16. When I ran tmux run-shell -b 'command -v fzf', I got no ouput (but also no error). Not sure if that's the expected behavior.

When I press , then Ctrl+F (shift f), nothing happens.

How should I proceed?

Thanks!

Hmmm... It should work with prefix + shift F. Did you try to verify the prefix is right?

[sainnhe]

What about directly run the script?

$ tmux run-shell -b ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh

[matan-arkin]

I did. The prefix works for other things. For the moment, looks like I found a different work around. Thanks anyway!

Cool!

[wantyapps]

What is the workaround?

[matan-arkin]

Not using tmux-fzf. I might've misunderstood the purpose of tmux-fzf, but I thought it was necessary for using tmux and fzf simultaneously. Looks like that's not the case and I'm able to activate fzf from a tmux session without tmux-fzf.

It is not. Tmux-fzf's propose is to use fzf as a tmux manager (To switch sessions, create windows etc. Look at README.md)

[wantyapps]

BTW: If you just want to use fzf within TMUX, just run fzf in the terminal like you would without TMUX.

[matan-arkin]

Thanks!! And sorry for confusion.

Hi,

not working with zsh or in tmux@3.1c? last release of tmux in brew is 3.1c 🤔

[neerajbadlani]

prefix + F isnt working for me as well . Any idea on this ?

[sainnhe]

@jlobos @neerajbadlani

As I said above, you can try to directly run this script and see if there is any output.

$ tmux run-shell -b ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh

[jlobos]

Now it work for me 👍

• zsh 5.8
• tmux 3.1c

Hi @sainnhe , No output for me . [master:configfiles] tmux run-shell -b ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh [master:configfiles] [master:configfiles] file ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh /Users/nebadlan/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh: Bourne-Again shell script text executable, ASCII text

[sainnhe]

@neerajbadlani What about this command?

$ ls | ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/scripts/.fzf-tmux

[neerajbadlani]

@sainnhe Above is working

[neerajbadlani]

[sainnhe]

@neerajbadlani Could you share your configuration? Including .tmux.conf, .bashrc or related shrc.

Or maybe minimal configuration that can reproduce this bug, or maybe your dotfiles repo.

[neerajbadlani]

@sainnhe , my dotfiles repo , bashrc , tmux.conf is quite big and broken into multiple files . Is there some specific config that you are thinking of that could cause this issue , I can incrementally remove the configs to see which would make it work .

[sainnhe]

@neerajbadlani Maybe it's caused by $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, I'm not sure.

You can try to comment out unrelated config in your shrc and see if there is any possibility to provide a minimal shrc or .tmux.conf that can reproduce this bug.

[neerajbadlani]

Update : I realized my fzf-tmux wasnt working with -p and other options mentioned in .envs file . After investigation , looks like tmux updated options to popup . After pulling in new changes , fzf-tmux works . But still tmux-fzf isnt working .

[neerajbadlani]

After updating binary .fzf-tmux inside the project with the updated system-binary , it finally works .

[neerajbadlani]

I can still see preview though even though i added config inside tmux.conf

[sainnhe]

@neerajbadlani Since the version of fzf is very different in different distros, I can't directly use the system wide fzf-tmux executable, so I have to copy the script from upstream.

I just updated it via e43f162.

[wantyapps]

Found a fix! If people don't have fzf installed, the plugin will not work. Try installing fzf

[Gerrit-K]

For me this happened after I updated tmux recently. I solved it by updating tmux-fzf via tpm (prefix + U (uppercase!))

[mistical2008]

Keybind doesn't work for me too. Workaround as bind F run-shell -b ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh

[infinityhacks]

I tried @wantyapps solution, it works on my mac now.

~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/scripts/.fzf-tmux
fzf executable not found

Then you need to install fzf with whatever tools you like,

brew install fzf

bingo

save my a**

Running the script directly through tmux:

tmux run-shell -b ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/main.sh

No output.

\ Running the script like so:

ls | ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-fzf/scripts/.fzf-tmux

Output was correct.

\ To fix the issue I executed tmux kill-server && tmux || tmux to basically restart the tmux server, now it all works fine.
