[Search Directory] Toggle files and directories by pressing CTRL-D or CTRL-F

[stevalkr]

with fzf's out-of-the-box fish extension, I can change the source

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='find . -type f' \
  fzf --bind 'ctrl-d:reload(find . -type d),ctrl-f:reload(eval "$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND")' \
      --height=50% --layout=reverse

but I don't find a way to achieve this, what should I replace eval "$FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND" with?

Hi Steve, are you asking how to configure [Search Directory](https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish#-search-directory) so that reloads with different input on Ctrl-D and Ctrl-F?

[stevalkr]

Yes, I don't understand how this function works and failed to configure it. Would be great if you could provide some guides.

[PatrickF1]

Try passing those key bindings into fzf_directory_opts
Something like

set fzf_directory_opts "--bind=ctrl-d:reload(fd --type directory),ctrl-f:reload(fd --type file)"

just tested it and it works for me. Make sure you have fd installed

Would you mind marking this as answer if it's what you want?

[stevalkr]

Yes it works, but is it possible to use default options of fzf_directory_opts? I tried to bind reload(fd \$fzf_arguments) but they don't look the same, like colors of symlinks, etc.

[PatrickF1]

They are already included automatically through this line:

fzf.fish/functions/_fzf_search_directory.fish

Line 9 in 883b78c

set -f fzf_arguments --multi --ansi $fzf_dir_opts $fzf_directory_opts

[stevalkr]

I finally realized it's fd options not fzf options I want 😄 , currently I set

set -U fzf_directory_opts "--bind=ctrl-d:reload(fd --type d --type l --color=always --strip-cwd-prefix)" \
                          "--bind=ctrl-f:reload(fd --color=always)"

but failed to use $fd_cmd as it's not exported to fzf, so there's no $fzf_fd_opts and base directory trick as I understand it

[PatrickF1]

Correct, you won't be able to use fd_cmd or fzf_fd_opts because they aren't exported to fzf. I suppose you can try exporting them.
Anyway, would you mind marking one of my responses as the answer so this question can be marked as closed please?
