Can't input non ascii characters about fzf HOT 6 OPEN

You can just append --no-height at the end, because the last one wins.

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="$FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS --no-height"

from fzf.

With the same setup, non-ascii characters make Fzf quit; it's intricate

I found out that as soon as I removed the --height option from $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, fzf accepts non-ascii characters in Git Bash in Windows Terminal; however I could not make fzf work at all in Git bash.

Regarding the --height option, it's unfortunately set by almost all common commands, such as Ctrl-T.
The following lines, say in .bash_profile, remove it wherever possible:

  export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="${FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS//--height[=[:space:]][1-9][0-9]?/ }"
  export FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS="${FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS//--height[=[:space:]][1-9][0-9]?/ }"
  export FZF_CTRL_R_OPTS="${FZF_CTRL_R_OPTS//--height[=[:space:]][1-9][0-9]?/ }"

  export FZF_ALT_C_OPTS="${FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS} --preview='tree.com //F {} | tail +3 | head -\$LINES'"

Ideally, of course, the issue with setting --height in Fzf in Git Bash itself could be fixed.

Thank you, I was not aware of it. This is more robust. Ideally, since the provided bash scripts set their own custom parameters, add a check for Git Bash, say by [ -z ${MSYSTEM+x} ] || ..., and append --no-height.

from fzf.

I can confirm that --no-height works for me too. In both Windows Terminal and mintty(from git bash).
BTW echo $FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS is empty so I suppose --height is the default, right?

Yes, you can inspect here:

__fzf_defaults() {
  # $1: Prepend to FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE and FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS
  # $2: Append to FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE and FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS
  echo "--height ${FZF_TMUX_HEIGHT:-40%} --bind=ctrl-z:ignore $1"
  command cat "${FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE-}" 2> /dev/null
  echo "${FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS-} $2"
}


__fzf_select__() {
  FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=${FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND:-} \
  FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS=$(__fzf_defaults "--reverse --walker=file,dir,follow,hidden --scheme=path" "${FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS-} -m") \
