Problem / Steps to reproduce
trying to use the ** completion for nvim while in my home dir and steam is installed and has a symbolic link to root
i have --walker=file,dir,hidden set in both my default opts and the completion ops and for everything else it works fine but trying to use ls ** or nvim ** is annoying
We currently override --walker option because it should be different depending on the command.
Line 300 in 4bedd33
If we universally apply --walker=file,dir,hidden, then cd ** will also list files and cat ** will also list directories, and that is not what we want.
The only option at the moment is to define _fzf_compgen_path and _fzf_compgen_dir but that is not ideal because we can't use the built-in walker in that case.
is there a way i can have a general case that uses what i want it to use and then only override it for the specific cases already implemented?
or if i just change that line can i get the functionality i want?
also im using zsh so itd be
[[ $compgen =~ dir ]] && walker=dir,follow || walker=file,dir,follow,hidden
in completion.zsh right?
One way is to define _fzf_comprun function as shown in the README page. But then you'll have to list all the commands in the function.
We probably need to add $FZF_COMPLETION_PATH_OPTS and $FZF_COMPLETION_DIR_OPTS.
With cd8d736 you can,
FZF_COMPLETION_PATH_OPTS="--walker=file,dir,hidden"
FZF_COMPLETION_DIR_OPTS="--walker=dir,hidden"thank you
