compatibility with fzf-tab?

[fujianyawa]

Hello, thanks for the amazing plugin!
But how can I make fzf-tab works alongside zsh-autocomplete?

Here's my .zshrc config:

source $ZSH/custom/plugins/zsh-autocomplete/zsh-autocomplete.plugin.zsh

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

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

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k"
ZSH_TMUX_AUTOSTART="true"

plugins=(
  alias-tips
  extract
  fd
  git
  ripgrep
  thefuck
  tmux
  # web search
  zsh-autopair
  zsh-autocomplete
  zsh-autosuggestions
  zsh-completions
  zsh-syntax-highlighting
  # load this last to make the ** keybind work
  fzf
  # fzf-tab
)

fpath+=${ZSH_CUSTOM:-${ZSH:-~/.oh-my-zsh}/custom}/plugins/zsh-completions/src
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

source /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/fzf
zstyle ':autocomplete:tab:*' fzf-completion yes
zstyle ':autocomplete:*' min-input 1

# my-fzf-tab() {
#   functions[compadd]=$functions[-ftb-compadd]
#   zle fzf-tab-complete
# }
# zle -N fzf-tab-complete
# bindkey "^I" fzf-tab-complete

[[ ! -f ~/.p10k.zsh ]] || source ~/.p10k.zsh
# import custom aliases and function
[ -f $HOME/.zsh_aliasrc ] && source $HOME/.zsh_aliasrc
[ -f $HOME/.profile ] && source $HOME/.profile

Makes the fzf-tab to work, but I want to use zsh-autocomplete too.

And also the author of the fzf-tab suggest in this thread to either choose which one of plugins to use, Though It's nice to use both of the plugins.

zstyle ':autocomplete:tab:*' fzf-completion yes lets you use Zsh Autocomplete with Fzf's official shell extensions. It does not provide compatibility with Fzf Tab.

I'm curious: How would you even expect this to work in practice, from the user's point of view?

Is this still working?

After enabling this I get the completions the standard way instead of with FzF:

I am also unable to get this working anymore.

I'm not able to get fzf-tab working at all, not even in a clean environment:

% brew install fzf
# ...
% exec zsh
% cd $( mktemp -d )
% git clone [email protected]:Aloxaf/fzf-tab.git
# ...
% > .zshrc <<EOF
setopt interactivecomments transientrprompt
PS1='%# '
PS2=
RPS2='%^'
autoload compinit
compinit
source fzf-tab/fzf-tab.zsh
EOF
% env -i HOME=$PWD PATH=$PATH TERM=$TERM ${TERMINFO:+TERMINFO=$TERMINFO} zsh -d
% fzf  # Test that fzf works.
# It does.
% file # Press Tab here.
% file fzf-tab/  # I get normal completion, not fzf.

I filed a bug report with fzf-tab: Aloxaf/fzf-tab#532

[ArmandAgopian]

Interesting, it works for me in a clean environment. Did you verify the plugin is downloaded to the correct location?

[marlonrichert]

If you want another plugin to override Autocomplete's keybindings, then simply source that plugin after you source Autocomplete.

However, I'm not able to say anything about the particular case of fzf-tab, because I cannot get that plugin to work at all.
