How to accept the currently hovered option, when --multi is specified?

[iamFIREcracker]

I thought pressing Enter would do the trick (as implied here: #4358), however that does not seem to work anymore.

Basically my idea is, when --multi is specified:

• Pressing tab would select and advance the cursor
• Pressing enter would add the current line to the selection and quit

PS. I thought maybe Enter behaves differently with --multi, but even with an explicit accept binding (e.g., --bind 'enter:accept') fzf is still not adding the hovered line to the selection on Enter.

• Pressing tab would select and advance the cursor

Let's say above one is action 1 and below one is action 2.

• Pressing enter would add the current line to the selection and quit

Since you mentioned #4358, I assume action 2 is related with action 1.

seq 5 | fzf --multi --bind "enter:transform:(( FZF_SELECT_COUNT )) && echo select+accept || echo ignore"

If action 2 isn't related with action 1.

seq 5 | fzf --multi --bind "enter:select+accept"

seq 5 | fzf --multi --bind "enter:select+accept"

Thanks to @fsc0 for the solution.

fzf is still not adding the hovered line to the selection on Enter

This is the default behavior. Tab or shift-tab advances the cursor, so it was a natural decision for me to not include the "hovered" option when there are selected items.

For example, you want to select 5 from the list,

seq 100 | fzf --reverse --multi

so you would press tab key 5 times then press enter to finalize the decision. Your cursor is on 6 after 5 tabs, and you don't want 6 to be included in the result.
