Don't add the currently hovered option on accept

[LukasKnuth]

I have a simple fzf --multi that lists some options. The default behavior will add the currently hovered (the one your cursor is on) when confirming via enter key/the accept action.

I want to prevent this. The enter key should still accept all the explicitly selected entries (the ones made with the tab key) but not add the currently hovered entry to the selection before accepting.

I can't find any bindings or flags to change this behavior. Is this possible?

#!/usr/bin/env bash
seq 5 | fzf \
	--multi \
	--bind 'enter:transform:
		if (( FZF_SELECT_COUNT > 0 )); then
			echo -n "accept"
		else
			echo -n "ignore"
		fi'

You didn't mention what enter key do when there's no selection,
so I used action ignore on the above example script.
Change the action ignore whatever you want.

Thanks!

FWIW, since (( ... )) evaluates only non-zero values as true, we can slightly simplify the expression like so:

enter:transform:(( FZF_SELECT_COUNT )) && echo accept || echo ignore

(Omitted -n as well, since we're only printing a single action and fzf ignores the trailing new line.)
