0.64.0

• Added multi event that is triggered when the multi-selection has changed.

  fzf --multi \
      --bind 'ctrl-a:select-all,ctrl-d:deselect-all' \
      --bind 'multi:transform-footer:(( FZF_SELECT_COUNT )) && echo "Selected $FZF_SELECT_COUNT item(s)"'

• Halfwidth and fullwidth alphanumeric and punctuation characters are now internally normalized to their ASCII equivalents to allow matching with ASCII queries.

  echo ＡＢＣ| fzf -q abc

• Renamed clear-selection action to clear-multi for consistency.
  • clear-selection remains supported as an alias for backward compatibility.
• Bug fixes
  • Fixed a bug that could cause fzf to abort due to incorrect update ordering.
  • Fixed a bug where some multi-selections were lost when using exclude or change-nth.

0.63.0

Release highlights: https://junegunn.github.io/fzf/releases/0.63.0/

• Added footer. The default border style for footer is line, which draws a single separator line.

  fzf --reverse --footer "fzf: friend zone forever"

  • Options
    • --footer[=STRING]
    • --footer-border[=STYLE]
    • --footer-label=LABEL
    • --footer-label-pos=COL[:bottom]
  • Colors
    • footer
    • footer-bg
    • footer-border
    • footer-label
  • Actions
    • change-footer
    • transform-footer
    • bg-transform-footer
    • change-footer-label
    • transform-footer-label
    • bg-transform-footer-label
• line border style is now allowed for all types of border except for --list-border.

  fzf --height 50% --style full:line --preview 'cat {}' \
      --bind 'focus:bg-transform-header(file {})+bg-transform-footer(wc {})'

• Added {*} placeholder flag that evaluates to all matched items.

  seq 10000 | fzf --preview "awk '{sum += \$1} END {print sum}' {*f}"

  • Use this with caution, as it can make fzf sluggish for large lists.
• Added asynchronous transform actions with bg- prefix that run asynchronously in the background, along with bg-cancel action to cancel currently running bg-transform actions.

  # Implement popup that disappears after 1 second
  #   * Use footer as the popup
  #   * Use `bell` to ring the terminal bell
  #   * Use `bg-transform-footer` to clear the footer after 1 second
  #   * Use `bg-cancel` to cancel currently running background transform actions
  fzf --multi --list-border \
      --bind 'enter:execute-silent(echo -n {+} | pbcopy)+bell' \
      --bind 'enter:+transform-footer(echo Copied {} to clipboard)' \
      --bind 'enter:+bg-cancel+bg-transform-footer(sleep 1)'
  
  # It's okay for the commands to take a little while because they run in the background
  GETTER='curl -s http://metaphorpsum.com/sentences/1'
  fzf --style full --border --preview : \
      --bind "focus:bg-transform-header:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-footer:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-border-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-preview-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-input-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-list-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-header-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-footer-label:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-ghost:$GETTER" \
      --bind "focus:+bg-transform-prompt:$GETTER"

• Added support for full-line background color in the list section

  for i in $(seq 16 255); do
    echo -e "\x1b[48;5;${i}m\x1b[0Khello"
  done | fzf --ansi

• SSH completion enhancements by @akinomyoga
• Bug fixes and improvements

0.62.0

• Relaxed the --color option syntax to allow whitespace-separated entries (in addition to commas), making multi-line definitions easier to write and read

  # seoul256-light
  fzf --style full --color='
    fg:#616161 fg+:#616161
    bg:#ffffff bg+:#e9e9e9 alt-bg:#f1f1f1
    hl:#719872 hl+:#719899
    pointer:#e12672 marker:#e17899
    header:#719872
    spinner:#719899 info:#727100
    prompt:#0099bd query:#616161
    border:#e1e1e1
  '

• Added alt-bg color to create striped lines to visually separate rows

  fzf --color bg:237,alt-bg:238,current-bg:236 --highlight-line
  
  declare -f | perl -0777 -pe 's/^}\n/}\0/gm' |
    bat --plain --language bash --color always |
    fzf --read0 --ansi --reverse --multi \
        --color bg:237,alt-bg:238,current-bg:236 --highlight-line
