Delay displaying project files when using zsh about fzf-preview.vim HOT 7 CLOSED

Ok, I found the culprit. It's my default shell being set to zsh. I suppose every time the plugin tries to populate the file list, it loads my whole zsh environment, which is quite slow - lot of aliases, shell prompt customization, and stuff. Running let &shell="/usr/bin/env bash" and using bash, which is much less customized on my system, makes the file listing appear instantaneously.

from fzf-preview.vim.

They differ in the command they are creating to generate the list.
Is it possible to measure the time required to execute the g:fzf_preview_filelist_command command and the time required to execute the g:fzf_preview_git_files_command command?

from fzf-preview.vim.

Since I am doing async load with heavy processing in zinit, zsh startup is very fast
It has nothing to do with this plugin, but setting it can significantly improve zsh startup time.

I'm having the same issue. @metalelf0 where did you set let &shell="/usr/bin/env bash"?

from fzf-preview.vim.

@lynndylanhurley I set it manually in vim (via :let ...), but I think putting that at the end of your .vimrc (or init.vim for neovim) would be equivalent. Btw, I tried going the zinit route in my .zshrc, it's really powerful. Pretty steep learning curve, but I managed to reduce my shell startup time greatly and I don't need the &shell hack anymore.

@metalelf0 oh nice, thanks for the tip. I'll check out zinit as well.

Did you solve?
