Keep your tmux pane zoomed while opening fzf over it on tmux 3.8 or newer.

Before you upgrade to v0.74.5

2 to fix

`focus` now fires after `reload` even at the same position. Change bindings that reload on `focus` to avoid a loop, or set `--id-nth` so an unchanged item key suppresses the event.

Action requiredBind keys and events to actions such as reloading the list or running commands, to build your own interactive menus.Affects: Bindings that run `reload` from the `focus` event

What changed in v0.74.5

`--popup` preserves zoom on tmux 3.8+, and `focus` fires after `reload` even when the new item occupies the same position. Terminal escape sequences no longer leak into the query or swallow an accompanying key; attached `fzf-tmux` sizes are validated.

Also: Terminal input and gap-line rendering fixes; reload focus events now fire; zsh completion and fzf-tmux security fixes.

fzf v0.74.5 from the release binaries or documented installation methods. Preserving zoom with `--popup` requires tmux 3.8+; tmux 3.7 still unzooms.

Fixed and improved

Unrecognized escape sequences no longer leak trailing bytes into the query, and a key arriving in the same read as an escape sequence is no longer lost.

Now worksPick one or more lines from any list piped into it, such as files, processes or git branches, by typing a few letters fuzzily.

zsh completion creates its FIFO in a private temporary directory instead of a predictable path, addressing GHSA-7rj6-7pqx-v7rm.

Now worksComplete file paths, directories, process IDs, host names and variables fuzzily by typing ** and Tab.

Compute sizes before calling `fzf-tmux` and pass a numeric size such as `-l50` or `-l50%`; attached values are now validated rather than evaluated as bash arithmetic, addressing GHSA-w6x2-f5m4-xw82.
