Problem / Steps to reproduce
I'm curious if it's possible to color the FZF prompt of some external command using pre-defined FZF colors. Here's what I mean.
Let's say I have a file with some lines split by spaces. When filtering with FZF I would like the first item to be colored using the list-bg color:
We already have --nth and --with-nth to control search based on fields. It would be interesting to allow users to apply color schema 'tags' to certain fields and color the FZF prompt accordingly. Maybe something like:
# Color the first field text using list-bg and color the second field using hl
--nth-color '1:list-bg,2:hl'Obviously, this isn't super critical. It's like half feature request and half question if it's possible to achieve something like this by other means. Thank you in advance.
Alternatives considered
When using a custom color scheme I can use --ansi to manually set the color of the first item to the matching color. That's what I'm already doing with a custom history widget.
However, this approach breaks down when users use their own color scheme.
