Can you have a keymap to toggle float width?

I like my fzf float to be pretty slim, but sometimes I jump into codebases with large filenames and nested folder structures. Would be nice to have a keymap where you can toggle the winopts.width global option directly without having to specifically pass it to pickers.

Have you tried full screen (default F2), or rotate to horizontal/vertical (F5/F6)?

You can also use toggle_behavior extend to have the main window slim and the preview “extending” it, see #721 (comment)

@ibhagwan thanks for the quick response! None of the F keys seems to work actually 🤔😭 but to illustrate a bit what I mean, this is what I mean. See how basically all file paths are truncated with ellipsis?

It'd be fantastic to have a keymap that automatically toggles full screen of the fzf float.

The F keys don’t work is most likely unrelated to fzf-lua, your term is sending different keys.

There are keys to toggle full screen and also rotation (horizontal to vertical and vice versa), redefine keymap.builtin and use ctrl keys to test until you solve why your F keys aren’t working:

fzf-lua/README.md

Lines 622 to 661 in d9db3b6

	keymap = {
	-- Below are the default binds, setting any value in these tables will override
	-- the defaults, to inherit from the defaults change [1] from `false` to `true`
	builtin = {
	false, -- do not inherit from defaults
	-- neovim `:tmap` mappings for the fzf win
	["<M-Esc>"] = "hide", -- hide fzf-lua, `:FzfLua resume` to continue
	["<F1>"] = "toggle-help",
	["<F2>"] = "toggle-fullscreen",
	-- Only valid with the 'builtin' previewer
	["<F3>"] = "toggle-preview-wrap",
	["<F4>"] = "toggle-preview",
	-- Rotate preview clockwise/counter-clockwise
	["<F5>"] = "toggle-preview-ccw",
	["<F6>"] = "toggle-preview-cw",
	["<S-Left>"] = "preview-reset",
	["<S-down>"] = "preview-page-down",
	["<S-up>"] = "preview-page-up",
	["<M-S-down>"] = "preview-down",
	["<M-S-up>"] = "preview-up",
	},
	fzf = {
	false, -- do not inherit from defaults
	-- fzf '--bind=' options
	["ctrl-z"] = "abort",
	["ctrl-u"] = "unix-line-discard",
	["ctrl-f"] = "half-page-down",
	["ctrl-b"] = "half-page-up",
	["ctrl-a"] = "beginning-of-line",
	["ctrl-e"] = "end-of-line",
	["alt-a"] = "toggle-all",
	["alt-g"] = "first",
	["alt-G"] = "last",
	-- Only valid with fzf previewers (bat/cat/git/etc)
	["f3"] = "toggle-preview-wrap",
	["f4"] = "toggle-preview",
	["shift-down"] = "preview-page-down",
	["shift-up"] = "preview-page-up",
	},
	},

You can quickly test it with ctrl-f:

:lua require("fzf-lua").files({keymap={builtin={["<c-f>"]="toggle-fullscreen"}}})

Also try:

:lua require("fzf-lua").files({keymap={builtin={["<c-f>"]="toggle-prreview-ccw"}}})

Btw, to see what your neovim sees when you use the F keys, go into insert mode press ctrl-v and then an F key, you should expect to see <F1>, if something else shows up you’ve found your issue.

Aaah, this was my bad. My term was correctly sending the F keys, I just forgot to add true on my custom keymaps, so I was not extending the default ones. It works now, thank you so much for the help @ibhagwan! Fzf-lua is awesome ❤️
