Description

I am a MAC M1 user and the CTRL+R option was working fine until a few days back when it suddenly stopped working.

My fzf version is 0.60.2 (brew)
And shell is interactive and I get the following response upon using 'bindkey | grep fzf'

"^I" fzf-completion
"^R" fzf-history-widget
"^T" fzf-file-widget
"^[c" fzf-cd-widget

If I use fzf-history-widget alone I get 'widgets can only be called when ZLE is active'. My CTRL+T is working fine but this history thing

Research direction

Start by reproducing the CTRL-R failure with fzf 0.60.2 in the interactive shell, then compare the bindkey mapping for fzf-history-widget with the working CTRL-T mapping. Check whether invoking the history widget occurs inside ZLE; done means CTRL-R invokes history search without the reported ZLE error.
