Access to query in a keybind handler of fzf_exec?

[pkazmier]

I’m trying to write a keybind handler for fzf_exec that needs access to the query. How would I do that? Use case is for a command I’ve written in both mini.pick and telescope where if the query does not yield results, I invoke a keybind to create a new something based on the query typed.

require'fzf-lua'.fzf_exec("ls", {
  actions = {
    ['enter'] = function(selected, opts)
      print("selected item:", selected[1], 'query', opts.last_query)
    end
  }
})

If you want to have something a bit more complex like reloading the interface after adding an item, take a look at git branch add action:

fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/actions.lua

Lines 610 to 628 in 8330321

	M.git_branch_add = function(selected, opts)
	-- "reload" actions (fzf version >= 0.36) use field_index = "{q}"
	-- so the prompt input will be found in `selected[1]`
	-- previous fzf versions (or skim) restart the process instead
	-- so the prompt input will be found in `opts.last_query`
	local branch = opts.last_query or selected[1]
	if type(branch) ~= "string" or #branch == 0 then
	utils.warn("Branch name cannot be empty, use prompt for input.")
	else
	local cmd_add_branch = path.git_cwd(opts.cmd_add, opts)
	table.insert(cmd_add_branch, branch)
	local output, rc = utils.io_systemlist(cmd_add_branch)
	if rc ~= 0 then
	utils.err(unpack(output))
	else
	utils.info(string.format("Created branch '%s'.", branch))
	end
	end
	end

This is exactly what I was looking for, but couldn’t find it. Thank you!

YW, the docs are always tricky and there’s always room for improvement :)
