Checklist

  • I have read through the manual page (man fzf)

Output of fzf --version

0.52.0 (bcda25a)

OS

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Windows
  • Etc.

Shell

  • bash
  • zsh
  • fish

Problem / Steps to reproduce

  1. fzf.exe v0.52.0
    1. Good: PS> winget add junegunn.fzf makes possible PS> ~\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links\fzf.exe --version, and PSFzf works beautifully, thanks.
    2. Bad: fzf.vim popups are all broken, unusable.
  2. fzf.exe v0.46.1
    1. Good: this, $Env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\WindowsApps\fzf.exe, gets everything working perfectly.
  3. fzf repository location
    1. Bad: the advice in the fzf/README-VIM.md to add the location of my fzf clone into runtimepath has never worked for me.
    2. Good: this, plugin\fzf, works perfectly.
  4. fzf 4e9e842 (current commit)
    1. Good: fzf.vim functions that access Vim info work fine.
    2. Bad: fzf.vim functions that access the shell briefly flash an empty window and nothing more.
  5. fzf 24ff66d (last week)
    1. Good: this is the last fzf commit for which fzf.vim functions perfectly for me on Windows 10.

Background: I've been happily using fzf with fzf.vim on my Arch linux and Windows 10 boxes for years, with many thanks to the developers.

Please test if the new 0.52.1 improves the situation.

  1. fzf d91dd75 (current commit) works, thanks
  2. fzf.exe v0.52.1
    • Good: PSFzf works as usual
    • Bad: fzf.vim (again from winget)
      • useful left-side numbers and lower three lines (:: Press ...) ain't there
      • :Files works, but without my incremental input visible (no lower three lines)
      • :History variants show the popup but it goes blank on first keypress

Hmm, I can't reproduce the problem.

So how did you install fzf and fzf.vim? Are you running terminal vim from PowerShell? I'm testing it this minimal 4-line _vimrc:

call plug#begin()
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': { -> fzf#install() } }
Plug 'junegunn/fzf.vim'
call plug#end()
