Interaction with fzf-tab in zsh

[norman-zon]

I wonder about the interaction of carapace with completions from fzf-tab.

To be fair, I am very new to carapace, but I believe I read through all docs and issues regarding carapace and fzf-tab.

I have fzf-tab setup like this:

# enable searching of display strings for everything
zstyle ':completion:*' fzf-search-display true
# bind TAB to toggle select and move down (default is just move, toggle is CTRL+SPACE)
zstyle ':fzf-tab:complete:*' fzf-bindings 'space:toggle+down'
# preview directory's content with exa when completing cd
zstyle ':fzf-tab:complete:cd:*' fzf-preview 'eza -1 --color=always $realpath'
# prefix query to search
zstyle ':fzf-tab:*' query-string prefix first

and carapace is setup like this:

export CARAPACE_BRIDGES='zsh,fish,bash,inshellisense' # optional
zstyle ':completion:*' format $'\e[2;37mCompleting %d\e[m'
source <(carapace _carapace)

The completion for git looks like this:

I don't understand why all completion groups are shown at once. Can someone shed some light into this?

This should be related to the format zstyle recommended by carapace:

zstyle ':completion:*' format $'\e[2;37mCompleting %d\e[m'

I've seen the same behaviour with the official git completion when it is set.

Might be that the pattern needs to be more specific. Or related to a different config.
Haven't delved that deeply into this issue yet.

Maybe there's something useful.

Does this help?

zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''

[norman-zon]

Does this help?

zstyle ':completion:*' group-name ''

This does not change the behaviour.

Thanks for linking the article above, I just skimmed it very quickly, but it looks very interesting. Will dive into it later.
