On mac 12.5 + bash + macports, having trouble getting anything to work, like Ctrl-R, Esc-C etc, **TAB complete, even after trying to follow the suggestions linked here.
The basic problem, however, is that whatever I type into the fuzzy search, it finds many thousands of hits. It seems it's picking up a lot of aliased Downloads folders in ~/Library/Containers. Anyone else have that problem? Not sure how to turn that off.
I just typed "abcdefghijklmno" trying to narrow it down, and still had 10 hits. Typing a further "p" reduced that to 2, but I could see most of those eliminated 8 had a "p" in the filename. Confusing!
edit: I got Ctrl-R, Esc-C and **TAB complete working by adding this to .bash_profile, not .bashrc as it said to when installing:
But I still have many thousands of options for Esc-C cding, for example, whatever I type—mostly from ~/Library/Containers. I don't remember having that problem when I tried fzf a few years ago, on macos 10.13 I think.
