fzf provides efficient keybindings for the fzf utility. Heavily adapted from @hauleth's PR.

>=2.4.0 - Compatible fzf versions:
>0.11.3
Changes from original fzf
- What you type* prior to pressing fzf-shortcut (i.e. ctrl-f) will be part of the initial quary.
- When using find-file (non-legacy: ctrl-f) or locate (ctrl-s) if the first tokken in the commandline is executable, it will be omitted from the initial quary and rest tokkens in the commandline will be in the initial quary if any.
- tmux - terminal multiplexer
- rougify - colored peview
- locate - searching a pre-constructed database file. Before locate can be used, the database will need to be created. To do this, execute updatedb as root.
This plugin will fail if the fzf binary is not detected in your PATH.
The recommended means of installing fzf is through your respective package managers. However, if you do wish to install the latest version, simply run:
__fzf_install
If you later wish to uninstall the binary, run:
__fzf_uninstall
Note that the binary is only installed for the current user.
| Legacy | New Keybindings | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl-t | Ctrl-f | Find a file. |
| Ctrl-r | Ctrl-r | Similar to ^ |
| Ctrl-x | Alt-x | Does the reverse isearch, and immediately executes command. |
| Alt-c | Alt-o | cd into sub-directories (recursively searched). |
| Alt-Shift-c | Alt-Shift-o | cd into sub-directories, including hidden ones. |
| Ctrl-o | Ctrl-o | Find file/directory using locate. |
Legacy keybindings are kept by default, but these have conflict with keybindings in fish 2.4.0. If you want to use the new keybindings, enter the following into your terminal:
set -U FZF_LEGACY_KEYBINDINGS 0
NOTE: On OS X, Alt-c (Option-c) types ç by default. In iTerm2, you can send the right escape sequence with Esc-c. If you configure the option key to act as +Esc (iTerm2 Preferences > Profiles > Default > Keys > Left option (⌥) acts as: > +Esc), then alt-c will work for fzf as documented.
