Fzf: Option to hide the "rail"

Created on 5 Jan 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: junegunn/fzf

By "rail" I mean the vertical bar on the left where the > shows the selected item.

For me, the different background of the selection is enough to indicate which is the selected item and the rail with the > pointer doesn't feel necessary.

Or at least allow that rail to be colorable independently of other elements.

@erusev I don't think it's possible, but you could atleast set it to match the background color of fzf
(fzf --color=dark,bg+:234,bg:234). See the "Display" section of the man page.

The closest you can do is to set the color of bg+ to match that of bg as suggested by @cevhyruz. Since bg by default uses the default background color of the terminal. You can just set bg+ to -1 to have the same effect.

fzf --color=bg+:-1

I'm not planning to add more options for tweaking minor visual elements, trying not to bloat fzf with ni che features few people actually use.
