How can I reset --no-color from FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS?

[gonzastoll]

Hello! So, my FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS look like this:

export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='--style=minimal --no-bold --no-unicode --height=100% --margin=10% --color=bw'

Notice that I have --color=bw (equivalent of --no-color)

When doing this, it completely messes up my FzfLua finder as you can see on this screenshot:

Git icons are not highlighted, cursor line is white and contrast with highlighted item is very hard to notice.

This is how it looks when I don't pass --color=bw to FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS:

I've tried this:

fzf_opts = {
    ["--color"] = "always",
}

without much success. What I'm currently doing is this:

-- .config/nvim/init.lua
vim.env.FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = (vim.env.FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS or ""):gsub("%s*%-%-color%=bw", "")

But that doesn't feel like the right way to go about things tbh, feels a bit hacky. So, what would be a good way to "undo" the --color=bw that's coming from FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS?

Here's my full config

That’s the right way, fzf-lua relays the env opts if you’ve set it up for the shell it’s up to you to disable it for neovim if it it’s not your wish.

Yeah I get that 👍 but why wouldn't fzf_opts work? In my mind that was the way to "undo" or "disable" incoming env opts, and configure fzf the way you want specifically on neovim 🤔

I tried @nenahp's fzf_cli_args and that also seems to work (although a bit differently).

I guess what I meant with my question here was if there was a FzfLua specific idiomatic way of achieving what I want, which is to "undo", "disable" or even change the "--color" env value.

fzf_opts.--color should work before, but it didn't because typo maybe
#2310

Got it, #2310 was merged and should solve your issue.

Nicee, just tried it and it works like a charm ✨ thank you!

or reset color

vim.env.FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS = vim.env.FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS .. ' --color='
opts.fzf_cli_args='--color='

Found some code:

fzf-lua/lua/fzf-lua/core.lua

Lines 519 to 522 in 3e123a3

	-- In case the user already set fzf_opts["--color"] (#1052)
	if opts.fzf_colors and type(opts.fzf_colors["--color"]) == "string" then
	table.insert(tbl, opts.fzf_opts["--color"])
	end

[nenahp]

is fzf_colors.--color typo?
