FZF ignores nested files from $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd' but not when piping fd into FZF about fzf HOT 3 CLOSED

Not reproducible so far.

When you execute fd | grep 'xdefaults.C', do you see the file?

Please share your FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS as well, if set.

When you execute fd | grep 'xdefaults.C', do you see the file?

I get:

src/xdefaults.C
src/xdefaults.C.orig

Please share your FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS as well, if set.

FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS: -bind=alt-k:up,alt-j:down,tab:accept,alt-e:abort,ctrl-e:abort,alt-x:cancel,ë:up,ê:down,ø:cancel

Setting it to nothing doesn't do anything either

fzf is essentially an interactive grep tool, with the search performed solely by fd. Since deleting .gitignore in the top-level folder resolved the issue, the command below should also reveal the file.

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="fd --unrestricted" fzf --filter 'xdefaults.C'
# src/xdefaults.C

I assume your .gitignore contains a line to ignore .C files or the entire src/ folder?
