for the past week it was in my mind to see how I can make #zsh to do completion selection inside #fzf . Today I had some time to search and the best candidate I found is fzf-tab which unlike others, complete by pressing the normal Tab. It also captures the output of zsh completion and displays it in fzf, which means it works everywhere the normal zsh completion works. This is super neat and handy and also as a cherry on the top, it also allows multi-selection too.
In my efforts to stay at least 5 years behind the curve, I've just installed fd as a replacement to find and it's amazingly fast.
As a result of it automatically ignoring ".gitignored" directories, search is now much quicker and condensed - plus I've wired it all into #fzf , which has made that even faster 😍
Seems a shame to turn off fzf-tmux in bash, but I can't get into building a new tmux to get to some version >= 3.2 (I'm "stuck" on version 3.0a which ships with Ubuntu).
In exchange, I can fully upgrade #fzf past version 0.46.0 and get new, faster shiny stuff 🤩
And if you have vertico, ivy, helm etc then you have a nice way of selecting the man pages, like your fzf shell examples. What the difference between M-x man and M-x woman is? No idea, maybe just a joke.
I am working on a little script for yt-dlp+fzf
Problem is that I don't want the marked info-lines to be shown. So basically I would like to get everything, starting from the table header. Is there an easy way to alter the output? Note that piping cut, tail, head or similar is not an option. The online help of #ytdlp is very simple and the --help is a bit overloaded with way too many information. #cli#fzf#linux
A few weeks ago @mrnugget wrote a piece about setting up his new laptop. I bookmarked it so that I could later pirate some of the good stuff, specifically the advice on having a humungous shell history setting, and to use #fzf for fuzzy finding (It. Is. Awesome.) I context-switch between projects a lot, and being able to re-run something I figured out months ago (and promptly forgot) is something I desperately needed.
I was delighted to see that today's Register Spill delves deeper into just that, including some advanced tweaks for those of us who rely heavily on plain-text computing. As always, it's a short, fun and informative read:
@natenom Yeah! Wenn das jetzt noch (analog zu Zapp unter Android) Meta-Informationen zu den gerade laufenden Sendungen hätte, hätte ich keine weiteren Wünsche mehr. Sehr praktisches Skript!
The #rust ecosystem is getting bigger with the creation #nucleo from one of the very talented #helix developers.
A faster fuzzy matcher replacement compared to #fzf and #skim.
I wrote a quick blog post about using #fzf (the CLI/TUI fuzzy finder) in your daily workflow. I hope it can help you to improve your workflow and day-to-day experience in terminal.
More posts with a little bit advanced setup is on the way, but I'm still working on it.
@mforester I use fuzzy finder everywhere. It is so much integrated into my workflow that it is hard to imagine a day without it. Even in Emacs I use Ivy and other types of fuzzy finder to navigate files, projects, and code.
I hope you have found something useful in my blog post 🤓
@Mehrad nothing I can use out of the box. I've played around with the three examples and while they are pretty cool, I don't think they'll end up in my workflow. Mainly because I have most of it already covered with vim and plugins. 😅
But it showed me what is possible with the 'fzf' command. I'm amazed at what you can do with a few simple parameters.
I'll have to keep that in mind for the next scripts I'll be writing. 🙂
