Fzf: How to let fzf follow the symbolic links?

[roycyt]

Hi,
Thank you for this great work!
I used "Unite file_rec/async" in neovim to find files before.
After I found fzf, this is now my favorite. It is super fast.

Could I know how to let fzf follow the symbolic links?
I checked the man page and command help and did not find any information about that.

Hi, fzf currently does not work on neovim, I'll probably be working on neovim support during the weekend (see #137).

Having said that,

• fzf works as a unix filter, like grep, so you have to feed some input into it. e.g. seq 10000 | fzf
• But since most people use fzf with the list of files, I made fzf to spawn its own find process when input is not explicitly given.
  
  
  
  • The hard-coded default command is find * -path '*/\.*' -prune -o -type f -print -o -type l -print 2> /dev/null
  
  
• You can override the default command with $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='seq 1 100'
fzf

• And :FZF command of Vim plugin is built upon this behavior. You can make it follow symlinks by setting FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND to the command that works that way.
• Or you can define your own command with fzf#run() function as described in the readme page. (see https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#usage-as-vim-plugin for details)

Try this (added -L):

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="find -L * -path '*/\.*' -prune -o -type f -print -o -type l -print 2> /dev/null"
