[BUG] TAB key presses are reversed in specific scenarios when using `ftb-tmux-popup` about fzf-tab HOT 6 CLOSED

I've found that removing these 3 lines fixes the issue. I'd make a PR, but I honestly have no idea how any of this stuff works, so I imagine there's a reason for these lines:

from fzf-tab.

Your fzf ui is not displaying correctly.
When the tmux popup is shown above the cursor, the fzf prompt should be at the bottom, then 'tab' behavior conforms to expectations. But in your screenshot, the fzf prompt is always at the top.

Have you ever set FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS anywhere?

from fzf-tab.

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, you're probably right. I'd forgotten that even though I was testing with the minimal zshrc, the FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS is exported, so it was getting passed to the child zsh shells.

I have this in my .zshrc:

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--height 40% --layout=reverse"

I will toy with it some more when I'm next at my keyboard. I'm going to leave this bug open until then (unless you're confident enough to close it).

from fzf-tab.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that was it. I unset FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS and still saw the undesirable behavior. I tried a handful of different settings, as well as returning all of fzf's variables to default.

For what it's worth, I can't replicate this behavior using just fzf (nor it's ctrl-t or alt-c). The issue only occurs when I hit the TAB key and start fzf-tab.

Very strange.

Can you replicate this behavior with tmux popup -E 'seq 10 | fzf'?

And how about change this line to fzf_opts+=(--bind=tab:up,btab:down --layout=default) and try again?

from fzf-tab.

I tried out tmux popup -E 'seq 10 | fzf', but it doesn't look like the TAB key works there by default...

However I do have some success with fzf_opts+=(--bind=tab:up,btab:down --layout=default. The popup still appears above the cursor, the first selection is at the bottom of the list, and TAB causes the cursor to move up the list:

This is much better, I would be ok with calling this an acceptable fix.

The behavior when I'm in the top tmux pane is the same as before (which is desired).
