How do I change my fzf keybindings on an old version?

[Starcr0ss]

I'm running fzf version 0.38.0 on Debian 12 (shipping old packages, per usual) and I want to change my keybinding for the fuzzy history search. Basically, I want fzf to allow me to search through my recent commands by simply pressing the up key instead of Control+T. How can I do this?

You can list the ones you have:

bind -X | grep fzf
# "\C-r": "__fzf_history__"
# "\C-t": "fzf-file-widget"

Remove an assigned key

bind -r "\C-r"

Assign the new key, e.g. ↑

bind -x '"\e[A" : "__fzf_history__"'
