Description

- [x] I have the latest version of fzf
- [x] I have searched through the existing issues

- [ ] Linux

## Problem / Steps to reproduce

I'd like to switch the options for matches in the middle of running fzf when doing a file search, etc.
Is it possible to implement the ability to bind the key to `--exact` or `--no-sort` switching?

Research direction

Review fzf's interactive key-binding handling and the --exact and --no-sort options first. Define how switching each option during a running file search should affect matching and sorting, then verify the behavior in the zsh-based CLI workflow described in the issue.
