Dynamically changing preview label position about fzf HOT 4 OPEN

No. But why would you do that? I can't think of a case where moving the label would benefit the user. Wouldn't it just be confusing?

from fzf.

I am dynamically changing the preview, and I wanted to somehow differentiate between two possible modes. I was considering multiple options:

• changing the label (isn't that noticable)
• changing the preview border style
• changing the preview background (together with different border style the alternate preview could "pop-up" more)

I also considered that the alternate preview could have different position of label (top vs bottom, left vs center vs right). I wanted to try it out, and thus this feature request.

So it's not something you absolutely need.

Please note that preview/border labels can show ANSI colors, it might help in your case.

fzf --preview 'cat {}' --preview-label $' \x1b[33myellow ' --bind $'space:change-preview-label: \x1b[34mblue '

Certainly not. Nevertheless, it could be nice to have the option (if someone finds the free time to implement it :).

Thanks for the suggestion!
