kubectx specific fzf options

[TheKangaroo]

Is it possible to pass fzf options for kubectx only?
I can tune the behaviour of fzf for kubectx by setting FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS, but this applies to anything that uses fzf.
Is there such a thing as KUBECTX_FZF_OPTS?

More than that, would it be possible to specify other binaires ? Like skim (a rust version of fzf)
If you allow me, I would be please to code this for you @ahmetb
WDYT ?

@TheKangaroo I think there is an easier way to fix your issue: junegunn/fzf#1408
Use environment variables to change the behavior of fzf in your setup. Crazy example here:

export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd --type f --hidden --follow --exclude .git'
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="
  --height=80%
  --layout=default
  --border
  --reverse
  --info=inline
  --prompt='🔍 Find > '
  --pointer='=>'
  --marker='✅'
  --multi
  --color=fg:#ffb86c,bg:#282a36,hl:#50fa7b,fg+:#f8f8f2,bg+:#44475a,hl+:#ff5555
  --color=info:#8be9fd,prompt:#ff79c6,pointer:#ff5555,marker:#bd93f9,spinner:#f1fa8c
  --cycle
  --preview='bat --style=numbers --color=always {} || cat {}'
  --preview-window=right:70%:wrap
  --bind='?:toggle-preview'
  --bind='ctrl-j:accept'
  --scroll-off=5
"
export FZF_CTRL_T_COMMAND='fd --type f --hidden --follow --exclude .git'
export FZF_CTRL_T_OPTS="--preview 'head -n 100 {}' --layout=default --height=50%"
export FZF_CTRL_R_OPTS="--height=80% --layout=default --reverse --info=inline --prompt='🔍 History > '"
export FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND="fd --type d"
export FZF_ALT_C_OPTS="--preview 'tree -C {} | head -n 50' --layout=default --height=50%"
export FZF_TMUX=1
export FZF_TMUX_OPTS="-p100%,100%"
export FZF_PREVIEW_COMMAND="bat --style=numbers --color=always {} || cat {}"
export FZF

I hope this helped.

@Ant0wan I don't think I understand. I already have FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS set, but I want different options just for fzf invoked by kubectx.
Or do you mean in should just

alias kubectx="FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS='xxxx' kubectx

?

[Ant0wan]

An alias is a great choice if you do not want to modify your local fzf config. An example:

alias kubectx="FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS=\"
  --height=80%
  --layout=default
  --border
  --reverse
  --info=inline
  --prompt='🔍 Find > '
  --pointer='=>'
  --marker='✅'
  --multi
  --color=fg:#ffb86c,bg:#282a36,hl:#50fa7b,fg+:#f8f8f2,bg+:#44475a,hl+:#ff5555
  --color=info:#8be9fd,prompt:#ff79c6,pointer:#ff5555,marker:#bd93f9,spinner:#f1fa8c
  --cycle
  --preview='bat --style=numbers --color=always {} || cat {}'
  --preview-window=right:70%:wrap
  --bind='?:toggle-preview'
  --bind='ctrl-j:accept'
  --scroll-off=5\" kubectx"

WDYT about this ? @TheKangaroo

[TheKangaroo]

Actually, I hadn't thought about using an alias until I was trying to understand your example. I'll try it the other day.
