Hot key selection

[abitrolly]

Is there any mode to use single key press for selection? Like git checkout $(git branch | fzf) gives this list.

What I want is this, but with colors instead of [].

No such mode. The closest thing is jump or jump-accept action.

git branch | fzf --bind load:jump

git branch | fzf --bind load:jump-accept

[abitrolly]

Thanks. jump-accept seems to do the trick.

Now I need to find a way how to recolor pink on black to yellow.

[abitrolly]

@junegunn for the visual part I came up with this:

git branch -vvv --color=always | fzf --ansi --bind load:jump-accept --color=pointer:yellow,bg+:#000000,fg+:#999999

But I still want the hot keys to be inlined, turn off stripes (+ colors), and when hot key is pressed, output only the first word.

I still want the hot keys to be inlined

I have no plan to extend the jump feature as it's a niche feature not many users use.

output only the first word

You can post-process the output using something like awk. But it's not clear why you want to use fzf for this, when you're not utilizing its search or navigation interface at all. Why don't you just write a dedicated script for your use case?

[abitrolly]

@junegunn yes, it looks more a job for a menu app. Like dmenu, but for terminal. The closest I could find is https://github.com/Schroefdop/git-branches
