How to show right side of path instead of left?

[AlejandroSanchez90]

when i do grep, if the path is really long, then i wont see the actual file name. is there a way to default to show last part and ... starting part ?

There are a few solutions for that:

• Add --keep-right to fzf_opts
• Add multiline=true or multiline=2 under grep
• While fzf is open toggle line wrap by pressing alt-/ (default, can be modified)

Note that using multiline / line wrap requires one of the latest versions of fzf (forgot which maybe 0.53?), this is how it looks like:

adding to fzf setup funtcion

fzf_opts = {
    ['--keep-right'] = true
}

or

:lua require('fzf-lua').files({ fzf_opts = {['--keep-right'] = true} })

is not working, anything wrong with my setup?

It should work, perhaps it’s your fzf version? Add debug=true to the options and check if the resulting fzf command contains the keep right flag, also remember that it’s meaningless once you start fuzzy matching, it only works when the query prompt is empty (man fzf), I recommend using a new version of fzf with a wrap toggle.
