Windows doesn't have signals, the default Kill doesn't actually kill
anything, and other forms of termination don't allow cleanup. So we
spawn preview processes in a new process group and send them a
CTRL_BREAK_EVENT to terminate.
However, we only do this for "pwsh" (PowerShell 7+) and unknown/
posix-ish shells, because cmd.exe and Windows PowerShell
("powershell.exe") don't always exit on Ctrl-Break. pwsh also needs
the -NonInteractive flag to exit on Ctrl-Break.
If the process wasn't given its own group, or if sending the console
control event fails, we fall back to the standard Kill (which likely
won't help, but doesn't hurt to try).
Fix#3134
Use make([]NthParts, 0, len(indexes)) so the slice starts empty with
reserved capacity. The previous length-len(indexes) allocation left
leading zero NthParts entries before appended elements.
- Changed +m to --multi to enable multi-select in CTRL-R
- Changed exclude to exclude-multi and {1} to {+1} so
shift-delete removes all selected entries at once
When --walker=follow is used, symlinks like Wine's z: -> / cause fzf to
traverse the entire root filesystem. fastwalk's built-in loop detection
only catches this on the second pass, but a single pass through / already
causes severe CPU and memory exhaustion.
This fix resolves each symlink-to-directory target to its absolute real
path and skips it if it is an ancestor of (or equal to) the walker root.
Close#4710
When --walker=follow is used, symlink following is now handled by
fastwalk's IgnoreDuplicateDirs adapter which tracks visited directories
by device+inode. This prevents the same directory from being entered
more than once, avoiding effectively infinite traversal when a symlink
points outside the walker root.
Close#4710
Separate item identity from cursor tracking:
- Add --id-nth=NTH to define item identity fields for cross-reload ops
- --track reverts to a simple boolean flag
- track-current action no longer accepts nth argument
- With --multi, selections are preserved across reload-sync by matching
identity keys in the reloaded list

Allow --track to accept an optional nth expression for cross-reload
tracking. When a reload is triggered, fzf extracts a tracking key from
the current item using the nth expression, blocks the UI, and searches
for a matching item in the reloaded list.
- --track=.. tracks by entire line, --track=1 by first field, etc.
- --track without NTH retains existing index-based behavior
- UI is blocked during search (dimmed query, hidden cursor, +T*/+t*)
- reload unblocks eagerly on match; reload-sync waits for stream end
- Escape/Ctrl-C cancels blocked state without quitting
- track-current action accepts optional nth: track-current(1)
- Validate nth expression at parse time for both --track and track()
- Cache trackKeyFor results per item to avoid redundant computation
- Rename executeRegexp to argActionRegexp

Fix#4709
Use go-shellwords instead of strings.Fields to parse --with-shell,
so paths with spaces can be properly quoted.
ln -s /bin/bash "/tmp/ba sh"
fzf --with-shell='/tmp/ba\ sh -c' --preview 'echo hello world'
fzf --with-shell='"/tmp/ba sh" -c' --preview 'echo hello world'
Replace the per-chunk query cache from []Result slices to fixed-size
bitmaps (ChunkBitmap: [16]uint64 = 128 bytes per entry). Each bit
indicates whether the corresponding item in the chunk matched.
This reduces cache memory by 86 times in testing:
- Old []Result cache: ~22KB per chunk per query (for 500 matches)
- New bitmap cache: ~262 bytes per chunk per query (fixed)
With the reduced per-entry cost, queryCacheMax is raised from
chunkSize/5 to chunkSize/2, allowing broader queries (up to 50% match
rate) to be cached while still using far less memory.
Fixes bugs reported in https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/pull/4703:
* Clamp followOffset return value to avoid going past the end of lines
* Account for t.previewed.filled when determining scrollability
