#4892·fzf

After using `fzf` Ctrl+R the VS Code terminal (PowerShell) cannot handle line breaks anymore

Author: RobertoRoosCreated Aug 10, 2026Updated Aug 10, 2026

Checklist

  • I have read through the manual page (man fzf)
  • I have searched through the existing issues
  • For bug reports, I have checked if the bug is reproducible in the latest version of fzf

Output of fzf --version

0.74.2 (3337be9d)

OS

  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Windows
  • Etc.

Shell

  • bash
  • zsh
  • fish

Problem / Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a VS Code empty window
  2. Open an integrated terminal instance
  3. Start typing in the command line until the carriage wraps back to a new line
    • Now the characters show as expected
  4. Use fzf to find a history command: hit [CTRL] + [R] choose a command and run it or cancel it
  5. Now again type in the command line until it must wrap to a new line
    • In this new line the characters are now all invisible

I also reported this under VS Code here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/329947 - but I figured people here might know of a solution or workaround already.
