@jamescooke what do you use fzf for? I’d like to expand my use

jamescooke, 27 days ago

@adamchainz Oh I'm using it for:

In bash:

• History search (ctrl+r)
• File search (ctrl+t)
• Change directory (alt+c)
  (these are default key bindings I think.)

In vim I'm using fzf.vim https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim/ and doing stuff like:

• Search files in repo (leader+g)
• Search buffers (leader+b)
• Search lines of files in repo (leader+a)
• Search for word under cursor in repo (leader+A)
• Search ctags (leader+t)
  Details here: https://github.com/jamescooke/dotfiles/blob/master/store/.vimrc#L129-L137

@jamescooke Default if you bother to set them up. Maybe I will now :)

Use within vim is cool.

@adamchainz I did so little to set them up I had to redocument them for myself yesterday 😬

Given I've got fzf set up as both a package and a vim plugin: https://github.com/jamescooke/dotfiles/blob/master/store/.vimrc#L9

Then installing the fzf package from vim does ~/.fzf/install --all which "Just Works ™️ " - vim installs fzf for bash and makes the keybindings work 🙈
