Key-bindings

Alt + ↑ - Move into the parent directory

Alt + ↓ - Fuzzy find directory below the current one, and move into it.

Alt + ← - Go to previous directory

Alt + → - Go to next directory

Use Shift instead of Alt on a Mac

`Alt` + `↓` and fzf

Dependencies:

fzf
eza

This plugin uses the FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND environment variable. If it is not set, fzf will use this command:

find . -type d \( ! -name '.git' -a ! -name '.hg' -a ! -name '.svn' -a ! -name 'node_modules' \)

If you want to use the fd command, you can set something like this in your .zshrc file:

export FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND='fd --hidden --type d --exclude={.git,.hg,.svn,node_modules}'

In the case of bfs:

export FZF_ALT_C_COMMAND='bfs -type d -exclude -name '.git' -exclude -name '.hg' -exclude -name '.svn' -exclude -name 'node_modules''

Custom keybindings

Simply set the keybindings for cd-up, cd-down, cd-forward and cd-back widgets in the .zshrc file, for example:

bindkey '^[[1;3A' cd-up
bindkey '^[[1;3B' cd-down
bindkey '^[[1;3D' cd-back
bindkey '^[[1;3C' cd-forward
