We could maybe improve the output for binary files |
I think this is a bug fix instead of a new feature. The reason for this is that the current behavior _overrides user choice_ of `FZF_PREVIEW_COMMAND`. No matter what preview command they provide, we never run it on binary files. However, if the user supplies _no_ preview command, then we'll run it through `bat` which produces an error. This sounds like a mistake. This commit makes the behavior when no preview command is supplied the same as the behavior when a preview command is given.
