Error when wrapping fzf Ctrl+R picker

[RevanProdigalKnight]

I'm the author of a new(ish) open source project, sqlh.

I'm currently working on adding integration with fzf in my own implementation of a reverse interactive search, and thought I'd try to allow users to use fzf's picker instead if they prefer it, but it spits out a rather opaque error message when I try to test it:

C:\cygwin64\tmp\fzf-temp-1160247143: line 1: C:\cygwin64\home\Revan\.tools\fzf\bin\fzf.exe: command not found

That is the path I installed fzf in, so I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong. Here is the code I am using to invoke fzf's picker

I see you are on Cygwin - you should export MSYS=enable_pcon.

Okay, that fixed the issue. The wording on the wiki article for Cygwin is confusing and did not make it clear that I needed to add that even though I am using latest fzf.

Since Fzf 0.53 and Mintty 3.4.5, it runs on mintty, the default terminal emulator shipped with Cygwin, out of the box.

The note of exporting MSYS=enable_pcon is only listed under the directions for FZF < 0.53.

I see, I've updated the wiki page, does it read better now?

I think it needs to be set regardless, I get the command not found error by just running history | fzf --query a (actually even on just fzf --query a).

Interestingly, it seems to only affect the picker, history | fzf -f a works just fine.
