Problem

I want to set some options, I think using FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS is a bit annoying for various reasons (cannot comment the options, cannot save to dotfile manager), so I want to use FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE. I set it and set the two options that I want:

set -Ux FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE ~/.config/fzf/fzf.rc

# If press enter when fuzzy searching for a command that has no matches, places what I typed into the terminal instead of removing it;
--bind "enter:become:if test -n {}; echo {}; else; echo {q}; end"
# If do ctrl-c at any point during fzf, don't delete the query, instead keep what i have typed so far
--bind "ctrl-c:become:echo {q}"

But now, running fzf the ANSI characters are not being properly processed. I assume that this is because there is some default option that I essentially unset by setting FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE to my file.

Solution

I think having the FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS_FILE be in effect after the default options are already applied would be very sensible.

Alternatively, fzf could provide a command line flag like --dump-default-opts so I could do fzf --dump-default-ops > ~/.config/fzf/fzf.rc and then just additionally set my two custom options.
