Problem / Steps to reproduce

1. printf 'foo\nbar' | fzf --bind 'enter:execute(echo {})'

2. typing test

3. press enter

expect test being echoed

actual the execute action isn't executed at all.

Can we have an execute variant that runs no matter if there is a selected candidate?

If the command template contains {q}, the action will trigger even when {} is null.

printf 'foo\nbar' | fzf --bind 'enter:execute(echo {}/{q}; sleep 1)'

[rdunlapSP]

Sorry for the necro, but is there a way to automatically exit with 0 status in this situation? I've tried the -0 flag, and also

$ printf 'foo\nbar' | fzf --bind 'enter:execute(echo {}/{q}; exit 0)'

You can use --print-query and process the output using shell script.
