0.58.0

Release highlights: https://junegunn.github.io/fzf/releases/0.58.0/

This version introduces three new border types, --list-border, --input-border, and --header-border, offering much greater flexibility for customizing the user interface.

Also, fzf now offers "style presets" for quick customization, which can be activated using the --style option.

• Style presets (#4160)
  • --style=full[:BORDER_STYLE]
  • --style=default
  • --style=minimal
• Border and label for the list section (#4148)
  • Options
    • --list-border[=STYLE]
    • --list-label=LABEL
    • --list-label-pos=COL[:bottom]
  • Colors
    • list-fg
    • list-bg
    • list-border
    • list-label
  • Actions
    • change-list-label
    • transform-list-label
• Border and label for the input section (prompt line and info line) (#4154)
  • Options
    • --input-border[=STYLE]
    • --input-label=LABEL
    • --input-label-pos=COL[:bottom]
  • Colors
    • input-fg (query)
    • input-bg
    • input-border
    • input-label
  • Actions
    • change-input-label
    • transform-input-label
• Border and label for the header section (#4159)
  • Options
    • --header-border[=STYLE]
    • --header-label=LABEL
    • --header-label-pos=COL[:bottom]
  • Colors
    • header-fg (header)
    • header-bg
    • header-border
    • header-label
  • Actions
    • change-header-label
    • transform-header-label
• Added --preview-border[=STYLE] as short for --preview-window=border[-STYLE]
• Added new preview border style line which draws a single separator line between the preview window and the rest of the interface
• fzf will now render a dashed line (┈┈) in each --gap for better visual separation.

  # All bash/zsh functions, highlighted
  declare -f |
    perl -0 -pe 's/^}\n/}\0/gm' |
    bat --plain --language bash --color always |
    fzf --read0 --ansi --layout reverse --multi --highlight-line --gap
  

  • You can customize the line using --gap-line[=STR].
• You can specify border-native to --tmux so that native tmux border is used instead of --border. This can be useful if you start a different program from inside the popup.

  fzf --tmux border-native --bind 'enter:execute:less {}'
  

• Added toggle-multi-line action
• Added toggle-hscroll action
• Added change-nth action for dynamically changing the value of the --nth option

  # Start with --nth 1, then 2, then 3, then back to the default, 1
  echo 'foo foobar foobarbaz' | fzf --bind 'space:change-nth(2|3|)' --nth 1 -q foo
  

• --nth parts of each line can now be rendered in a different text style

  # nth in a different style
  ls -al | fzf --nth -1 --color nth:italic
  ls -al | fzf --nth -1 --color nth:reverse
  ls -al | fzf --nth -1 --color nth:reverse:bold
  
  # Dim the other parts
  ls -al | fzf --nth -1 --color nth:regular,fg:dim
  
  # With 'change-nth'. The current nth option is exported as $FZF_NTH.
  ps -ef | fzf --reverse --header-lines 1 --header-border bottom --input-border \
             --color nth:regular,fg:dim \
             --bind 'ctrl-n:change-nth(8..|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|)' \
             --bind 'result:transform-prompt:echo "${FZF_NTH}> "'
  

• A single-character delimiter is now treated as a plain string delimiter rather than a regular expression delimiter, even if it's a regular expression meta-character.
  • This means you can just write --delimiter '|' instead of escaping it as --delimiter '\|'
• Bug fixes
• Bug fixes and improvements in fish scripts (thanks to @bitraid)
