Setup
- neovim v0.5.0-dev+1175-g1186f7dd9 through `nvim-qt.exe` (GUI version of neovim)
- Windows 10 build 19042.867
- WSL running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
When I have an automount set for WSL (to simplified the path from having `/mnt` prefix),
```
File: /etc/wsl.conf
----------------------------------
[automount]
root = /
options = "metadata"
```
fzf preview always complain about cannot find the correct preview script.
```
/bin/bash: /mnt/c/Users//AppData/Local/nvim/plugged/fzf.vim/bin/preview.sh: No such file or directory
```
However, when I apply this patch...
```diff
--- a/autoload/fzf/vim.vim
+++ b/autoload/fzf/vim.vim

\ : escape(s:bin.preview, '\'))
else
let preview_cmd = fzf#shellescape(s:bin_preview)
```
I got it working with nothing changed.
I think rather than having fzf.vim figure out if the automount is set automatically, it would be better with a flag set in the configuration instead. This should simplified the change needed in order to have this working. WDYT?
