Hi there,

I met some warnings/errors while tying to install fzf plugin into my Ubuntu 20.04. I had all the dependencies installed, and running fish 3.1.0. When I install the plugin following the command in README, the installation seemed to be ok, but got several error messages about wrong parameters are used for complete.

How do you fix the problem? Thanks in advance. Below are the full install logs.

~> fisher install PatrickF1/fzf.fish                                                                                                                                                                                fisher install version 4.2.0

Invalid option or a positional argument was provided.
USAGE:
    fzf_configure_bindings [--FEATURE[=KEY_SEQUENCE]...]

DESCRIPTION
    By default, fzf_configure_bindings installs mnemonic key bindings for fzf.fish's features. Each
    feature's binding can be customized through a corresponding namesake option:
        FEATURE            |  MNEMONIC KEY SEQUENCE        |  CORRESPONDING OPTION
        Search directory   |  Ctrl+Alt+F (F for file)      |  --directory
        Search git log     |  Ctrl+Alt+L (L for log)       |  --git_log
        Search git status  |  Ctrl+Alt+S (S for status)    |  --git_status
        Search history     |  Ctrl+R     (R for reverse)   |  --history
        Search variables   |  Ctrl+V     (V for variable)  |  --variables
    An option with a key sequence value overrides the binding for its feature, while an option
    without a value disables the binding. A feature that is not customized retains its default
    menomonic binding specified above. Key bindings are installed for default and insert modes.

    In terms of validation, fzf_configure_bindings fails if passed unknown options. Furthermore, it
    expects an equals sign between an option's name and value. However, it does not validate key
    sequences. Rather, consider using fish_key_reader to manually validate them.

    In terms of experimentation, fzf_configure_bindings erases any bindings it previously installed
    before installing new ones so it can be repeatedly executed in the same fish session without
    problem. Once the desired fzf_configure_bindings command has been found, add it to config.fish
    in order to persist the bindings.

    The -h and --help options print this help message.

EXAMPLES
    Install the default mnemonic bindings
        $ fzf_configure_bindings
    Install the default bindings but override git log's binding to Ctrl+G
        $ fzf_configure_bindings --git_log=\cg
    Install the default bindings but leave search history unbound
        $ fzf_configure_bindings --history
    Alternative style of disabling search history
        $ fzf_configure_bindings --history=
    An agglomeration of all the options
        $ fzf_configure_bindings --git_status=\cg --history=\ch --variables --directory --git_log

Hi Wayne, the minimum version of fish for fzf.fish is 3.3. Can you try that instead of 3.1?

Hey Patrick,

Thanks for the reply, I had fish upgraded to the latest 3.3.1 for Focal, and installed fzf.fish smoothly. However, another problem arose: when I tried to use the shortcut keybindings, like ctrl+v, ctrl+alt+s, etc., I got errors of unknown option: --marker=*, and the search box wouldn't show.

Thanks again.

Now your fzf is out of date. Try updating that. Check the read me for minimum requirements.

Great to hear it works! As a favor, would you mind starring this repo? Feel free not to if you end up not liking the plugin at all, which I hope doesn't happen. Haha
