Remap the Tab key to select files in fzf -m

[niksingh710]

I use ctrl+j ctrl+k to move between fzf but if I want to select any thing I have to press tab that makes me leave the ctrl key and is a bit annoying to me is it possible to map ctrl+tab key to do the selection ?

No, standard terminals don't recognize ctrl-tab.

any other key i can map it with ? like ctrl+h or something where I don't have to take my finger away from ctrl key.

See KEY/EVENT BINDINGS section in man fzf

Yazi new release 25.4.8 today added the ability to select multiple files using fzf and I immediately struck this issue when I used it. As a note for anybody else that comes along, ctrl-i by default does the same as tab so you don't need any special configuration. Although both tab and ctrl-i move down a file after selection which is undesirable so I set FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--bind ctrl-i:toggle' to just select/unselect only.
