Clear input with C-u about fzf-preview.vim HOT 10 CLOSED

C-u assigns to preview page up by default.
I think C-w is enough in most cases.

from fzf-preview.vim.

Use g:fzf_preview_preview_key_bindings
Default is 'ctrl-d:preview-page-down,ctrl-u:preview-page-up,?:toggle-preview'

C-w is a general Emacs key binding, so I don't think it needs any documentation.

from fzf-preview.vim.

I didn't know about C-w I think it's not documented?

Is there a way to remap these commands? I'd prefer to use C-u since that's what I use on all terminal commands, etc.

P.S.: Vim also uses C-b and C-f for page up and down.

[Control][b] - Move back one full screen
[Control][f] - Move forward one full screen
[Control][d] - Move forward 1/2 screen
[Control][u] - Move back (up) 1/2 screen

from fzf-preview.vim.

Thanks 👍

I've never used emacs, only vim. So when it comes to other keybindings I'm only used to readline keybindings which is used by many shells, and there C-x removes last word and C-u removes everything until the beginning of the line.

from fzf-preview.vim.

Adding information for anyone else reading this issue.

By default fzf maps ctrl-u to clear text until the beginning of line, so to get this behaviour inside fzf-preview.vim window all one needs to do is to remove the overriding binding:

default: let g:fzf_preview_preview_key_bindings = 'ctrl-d:preview-page-down,ctrl-u:preview-page-up,?:toggle-preview'

final: let g:fzf_preview_preview_key_bindings = 'ctrl-d:preview-page-down,?:toggle-preview'

from fzf-preview.vim.

@bpinto @yuki-ycino the above trick didn't work for me for some reasons. Just removing <C-u> from g:fzf_preview_preview_key_bindings just doesn't work for me.

from fzf-preview.vim.

A recent update should have made it work well.
Please update the plugin and give it a try.

@yuki-ycino which recent update are you talking about? I tried updating the plugin using PlugUpdate! (vim-plug) but nothing was updated, and <C-u> to clear binding still doesn't work.

from fzf-preview.vim.

It works fine when I try the minimum configuration in my environment.
I don't know much about vim-plug, but try a complete reinstallation of the plugin, etc.

If you are using coc extensions, you can use the coc command to update them.

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'junegunn/fzf', { 'do': { -> fzf#install() } }
Plug 'yuki-ycino/fzf-preview.vim', { 'branch': 'release', 'do': ':UpdateRemotePlugins' }
call plug#end()

let g:fzf_preview_preview_key_bindings = 'ctrl-d:preview-page-down,?:toggle-preview'

from fzf-preview.vim.

Ok I see. I upgraded fzf-preview.vim and now everything works. Thanks @yuki-ycino
