fzf

fzf is a CLI fuzzy-finder (think: VS Code's Command Palette) for every list-type input:

git log --oneline | fzf

Keyboard shortcuts ​

The most important feature for me is that fzf enhances zsh with fully featured searchable history (Ctrl + R). It also adds the interactive File Search (Ctrl + T) and interactive directories traversal (Alt + C).

The best part is that due to its string matching feature I don't have to remember the full name of previously issued commands or files that I want to open.

Integrations ​

bat ​

I use bat to preview files directly in File Search mode.

fd ​

I use fd as a default search engine due to its flexibility in terms of what I want to take into account during searching.

I've enabled looking for .hidden files and disabled going through ~/Library, .git and node_modules.
