CTRL + R not working

[sudhanya-jaisingh]

I am a MAC M1 user and the CTRL+R option was working fine until a few days back when it suddenly stopped working.

My fzf version is 0.60.2 (brew)
And shell is interactive and I get the following response upon using 'bindkey | grep fzf'

"^I" fzf-completion
"^R" fzf-history-widget
"^T" fzf-file-widget
"^[c" fzf-cd-widget

If I use fzf-history-widget alone I get 'widgets can only be called when ZLE is active'. My CTRL+T is working fine but this history thing

How do you set up shell integration? Are you following the instruction in https://github.com/junegunn/fzf?tab=readme-ov-file#setting-up-shell-integration?

[sudhanya-jaisingh]

Yeah I have used the source <(fzf --zsh) line in my zshrc file

Can you try to reproduce your bug in a minimal zsh environment?

command env -i "HOME=$HOME" "USER=$USER" "PATH=$PATH" "TERM=$TERM" zsh -f

source <(fzf --zsh)

# press ctrl-r

If you don't see the error, that suggests something in your shell setup is interfering with the
correct functioning of the fzf widgets. One way to troubleshoot is to gradually remove parts of your
shell setup or make your setup public so we can identify where things go wrong.

I encountered the same problem and, after extensive testing, I think I found the issue.

When I open a new terminal window and execute bindkey, it initially shows "^R" fzf-history-widget. However, after a few seconds, when I run bindkey again, it shows "^R" history-incremental-search-backward. I suspect this may be related to the loading order of some Zsh plugins. I have tried different installation methods including brew install fzf and git。

I temporarily did this by delaying it to load last, for example, after the year 2000...

zinit ice if"[[ -n '$TMUX' ]] || [[ '$TERM_PROGRAM' != 'WarpTerminal' ]]" wait"6" lucid from="gh-r" as"program" atload"source <(fzf --zsh); bindkey '^R' fzf-history-widget; bindkey '^T' fzf-file-widget"
zinit light junegunn/fzf

Having the same issue as well, here is my current config: https://github.com/wormholecowboy/.dotfiles/blob/main/zsh/.zshrc

Using version 0.60.3 on Ubuntu WSL 2.

Does not show up if I run bindkey:
❯ bindkey | grep fzf
"^I" fzf-tab-complete
"^T" fzf-file-widget
"^X." fzf-tab-debug
"^[c" fzf-cd-widget

@wormholecowboy

can you try this suggestion in the comment below, as I suspect that in your case it might be due to the zsh-vi-mode plugin

[wormholecowboy]

@LangLangBart That didn't fix the issue, however, you are right that the issue is caused by the vi plugin. I'm just going to remove that plugin since I haven't been using it much. Thanks for the help!

[sudhanya-jaisingh]

Here is my zshrc file @LangLangBart
The behavior was same in minimal environment as well

Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.

if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then
source "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh"
fi

Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
export PATH="${KREW_ROOT:-$HOME/.krew}/bin:$PATH"

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
export GOPATH=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin

Set name of the theme to load

ZSH_THEME="robbyrussell"

To customize prompt, run p10k configure or edit ~/.p10k.zsh.

[[ ! -f ~/.p10k.zsh ]] || source ~/.p10k.zsh

[ -f ~/.fzf.zsh ] && source ~/.fzf.zsh
