I vaguely intended to create a supported fork of the Ruby fzf version that Cygwin runs, but never managed to make any useful progress on it. At this point, it's unlikely I'm ever going to, either. If you're interested in taking over the maintainership and working out your problems yourself, that's something I'm definitely willing to help with insofar as I can, but otherwise I'm afraid you're on your own here. (For context: the version of fzf that Cygwin uses is written in Ruby, but some time ago the upstream fzf project switched from a Ruby-based version to a Go-based version. Cygwin doesn't have a native Go compiler, and getting a working Cygwin-packaged version of fzf using a non-Cygwin Go compiler was beyond what I could achieve with the time available to me.)
