FZF Shortcuts for Mac?

[ElijahLynn]

Hi, Longtime user on Arch Linux here, love it!

I just had to start using a Mac for my dayjob, and am not able to use ctrl + alt + f for example to find files. This discussion may just be me rubber ducking in public. And if anyone else has suggestions on getting that working that would be great!

Cheers

Hi Elijah, have you tried reading https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish/wiki/Troubleshooting#default-or-custom-key-bindings-do-not-work? From that list, a common one for Mac users is that iTerm, the most common terminal for Mac users, is intercepting the alt key and doing something else with it.

Oh nice Lead Patrick! I searched the readme for "mac" and was searching issue queue and discussions for "mac" too and didn't see any title hits so wasn't sure it was supported. I am using Iterm2, so definitely will give those issues a read through!

Thank you!!!

Sweet, found this from that article #97 and then found https://stackoverflow.com/a/197092/292408 which fixed it and it works beautifully now!!!

Thanks

I do wonder about maybe adding a Mac or Iterm keyword to the README, or maybe saying that "Mac" should be supported. As a new Mac user (well, at least after 10 years of not using one) I kept seeing ctrl this and that and wasn't sure this extension supported Mac because I didn't see cmd. Not saying everyone is like that but that was the case for me at least.

I can make a docs PR if you are interested in adding something.

Great to hear! Would you mind starring the repo as a way of thanks?

I don't have time to re-research the details but Command isn't supported by terminals/shells as a key modifier. Thanks for offering your perspective. I can make that edit myself

Cool, thanks for taking on the edit, I think you would be best suited to write it too!
