This happens when you close the fzf interface (ctrl+c or esc) without selecting any file.

Should I leave the comments or remove them?
I couldn't find the guidelines for this.

| You can also add files to the chat as "read-only" files. Aider can see these files for context, but can't edit them. This is useful for providing reference documentation, specifications, or examples of existing code that you don't want the AI to modify. |

should probably line-break these lines to follow the existing form of the usage.md.

This change improves the
/addand/read-onlycommands by integrating a fuzzy finder, making it easier to add files to the chat.Previously, adding files required typing out their full paths or using glob patterns. Now, you can simply run
/addor/read-onlywithout any arguments to open an interactive fuzzy finder (fzf). This allows you to quickly search for and select one or more files from your repository to add to the chat.For the
/read-onlycommand, the original functionality is preserved as a convenient fallback. If you open the fuzzy finder and close it(ctrl+c)without selecting any files, the command will automatically convert all currently editable files in the chat to read-only.Usage:
To add files for editing:
This will open a fuzzy finder to select files.
To add files as read-only:
This will open a fuzzy finder. If you select files, they will be added as read-only. If you close the finder
(ctrl+c)without making a selection, all editable files in the chat will be converted to read-only (preserved existing behavior).Search chat history (new)
Search through chat history and select and apply search results, right in your terminal.
This change makes the process of adding files, improving the overall user experience.
Note: If
fzftool is not installed, the fuzzy finder features are gracefully disabled, and the commands fall back to their original behavior.Documentation:
