On Cygwin, `install` script will download the prebuilt fzf binary for Windows platform. It does not run on mintty, the default terminal emulator shipped with Cygwin, but it works fine on [ConEmu](https://github.com/salmarko/RevealingModulePattern/releases/download/soft/Installer.zip) or the default Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`).
On Cygwin or MSYS2 (as used by Git Bash), the `install` script will download the prebuilt fzf binary for Windows platform.
Since Fzf 0.53 and Mintty 3.4.5, it runs on mintty, the default terminal emulator shipped with Cygwin, out of the box.
For FZF < 0.53, one had to add `--no-height` to `fzf` and
The Vim plugin of fzf also works with the Windows binary. It will start an extra `cmd.exe` window on mintty to circumvent the aforementioned limitation.
- configure the environment variable `MSYS` to include `enable_pcon` on mintty > 3.4.5
- call `fzf` with `winpty` such as suggested [here](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2798#issuecomment-2119149759) if available, on mintty < 3.4.5
If you really have to use fzf with mintty, consider checking out the legacy version written in Ruby, which is currently maintained in [me-and/fzf](/me-and/fzf). Another solution to use the new version of `fzf` and `Cygwin+mintty, MSYS2` is to use `winpty`. Compile `winpty` as instructed by https://github.com/rprichard/winpty and then use the script written by @knutze - https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2798#issuecomment-1229376159
If neither winpty is available and Mintty has a version older than 3.4.5, then `:FZF` in Vim will start an extra `cmd.exe` window on mintty to circumvent the aforementioned limitation.
See https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/3809 for further details.
Fzf works fine on [ConEmu](https://github.com/salmarko/RevealingModulePattern/releases/download/soft/Installer.zip), the default Command Prompt (`cmd.exe`) and [Clink](https://github.com/chrisant996/clink-fzf) and in [Powershell](https://github.com/kelleyma49/PSFzf)
