[Feature Request] History syntax highlighting about fzf HOT 4 OPEN

For now i built fzf myself with a modification in key-bindings.zsh like this :

if [[ "${FZF_CTRL_R_COMMAND-x}" != "" ]]; then
zle     -N            fzf-history-widget
bindkey -M emacs '^R' fzf-history-widget
bindkey -M vicmd '^R' fzf-history-widget
bindkey -M viins '^R' fzf-history-widget
fi

and sourcing fzf like this in my zshrc

FZF_CTRL_R_COMMAND= source <(fzf --zsh)

from fzf.

if it would be possible to get syntax highlighting like zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-word for history backsearch with fzf ?

I'm not sure. We would have to use bat for syntax highlighting, but our recent change to support multi-line display will probably make it difficult to incorporate that into our script.

Or add an option to disable only the Ctrl-R key biding

Maybe you can load fzf --zsh first, then the other plugin so that the latter overrides CTRL-R binding of fzf?

Yes, it works. But I don't find it very convenient.

Is there a specific reason that CTRL-R is the only binding where the command can't be overridden, like CTRL-T and ALT-C ?

Thanks for the confirmation, so we do have a workaround.

Mainly because no one has asked for it. Opting out of the other keys was a recent addition (see #3678); we didn't include CTRL-R in the patch because there is no FZF_CTRL_R_COMMAND.
