To avoid issues with live_grep|live_grep_native and special characters upgrade your fzf
binary at the minimum to version 0.52.1
-
Any version <= 0.50 will work but have issues with
live_grep_native(junegunn/fzf#3626). -
Versions 0.51.0/0.52.0 should be avoided due to junegunn/fzf#3789.
As fzf-lua is bound by the same constraints, please read fzf's Windows Wiki page.
It took a lot of work to make everything work exactly as it does on *NIX/OSX. Fzf-lua attempts to overcome inherent fzf Windows woes (escaping, etc) by using our command proxy wrapper and working around the issues using lua code.
On Windows, single quotes ' in command arguments are treated as a string literal,
that means that wrapping arguments with single quotes does not translate into a single
string the same way a double quoted argument is treated, i.e. 'foo bar' != "foo bar".
To avoid issues, make sure none of your cmd's rg_opts, fd_opts, preview, etc
contains single hyphens that should be treated as quotes, this is probably the case
if you copied old fzf-lua defaults into your setup options.
