[Q] Using FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS.

[pablospe]

After this commit: 0b49f3e (fix: always ignore FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS)
How do you set to actually use FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, if one wants to?

[PrayagS]

+1. Dumping all my flags in fzf-flags has no effect for some reason.

Can this be turned into an optional behavior? Default can be to ignore FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS. Happy to open a PR if that sounds good.

If you know how to do it, please create a PR. I think few people will benefit from it, even if it is not merged in main. I understand the reason why to ignore FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, but it also creates a usability problem (at least it is not document properly, as far as I understand, perhaps it is an easy fix).

I understand the reason why to ignore FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, but it also creates a usability problem (at least it is not document properly, as far as I understand, perhaps it is an easy fix).

It was documented recently from what I see.

fzf-tab/README.md

Lines 118 to 119 in cf57116

	# NOTE: fzf-tab does not follow FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS
	zstyle ':fzf-tab:*' fzf-flags --color=fg:1,fg+:2 --bind=tab:accept

The issue I saw with using fzf-flags is that most users of this plugin also use https://github.com/Freed-Wu/fzf-tab-source/ which overrides the value of fzf-flags. The final value of fzf-flags that I was seeing in my shell wasn't showing up as expected.

If someone is not using that plugin, I suppose fzf-flags should work directly without needing this patch.

You can use FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS by this:

zstyle ':fzf-tab:*' fzf-flags ${(z)FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS}

Thanks for the answer, @Aloxaf! Unfortunately, this didn't work for me, see this comment:
