Fish FZF

Yet another fzf plugin for Fish.

Unlike the others, this plugin tries to pack as much as possible into a single "do what I mean" shortcut. Edit a file? cd to a directory? Just insert it into the command line? Many things like this can be determined from context.

Installation

Use Fisher:

fisher install mk12/fish-fzf

Keybindings

The main keybinding is CtrlO:

• CtrlO calls __fzf_insert file to search files.

For convenience, you can also jump directly into a different mode with these keybindings:

• CtrlQ calls __fzf_insert directory to search directories.
• AltZ calls __fzf_insert z to search z directories.

This plugin also offers a fzf version of history-search-backward:

• CtrlR calls __fzf_history to search command history.

Usage

Press CtrlO to launch fzf.

If you've already typed a path, or part of one, it will start there. Otherwise, it will start in the working directoy. Within fzf, you get these keybindings:

• Enter selects a result.
• Tab selects multiple results.
• CtrlO switches to searching files.
• CtrlQ switches to searching directories.
• AltZ switches to searching z directories.
• Alt↑ goes up to the parent directory.
• Alt↓ goes into the current item's directory.
• AltH goes to your home directory.
• Alt. toggles showing hidden paths.
• AltI toggles showing ignored paths.

When you make a selection, it will normally be inserted in the command line. But if the command line was empty before and you only selected one item:

• If it's a directory, cd to it.
• If it's a file, open it with $EDITOR.

To prevent this, use AltEnter.
