Fzf: Fuzzy finder for your shell

justinmk · on Dec 7, 2013

fzf is very thoughtfully designed. Even installing it is a pleasant experience (which is what compelled me to submit it to HN).

Some unexpected features, in addition to just being a super-fast fuzzy-finder:

    - works with pipes:
    $ find * -type f | fzf > selected
    
    - Extended-search mode (borrowed/improved from zaw[1])

    - auto-completion support for bash and zsh. Used 
      to fuzzy-search PIDs, ssh hostnames, and of course
      filename arguments for any command.
