• Useful CLI tools

  Fzf is a command-line fuzzy finder that makes navigating through files, commands, and processes much easier. It's kind of like ctrl + P on vscode, but for your terminal. - Source: dev.to / 11 days ago

• Trick to find commands in the terminal quickly

  Install "fzf" [0] and set it up to be used with control+r, there's no going back. You get as a bonus the chance to use fzf in a lot of other places :) I guess that more advance tool would be "atuin" [1], but it is too much for my use case.

• We need more zero config tools

  Fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) is really great. Very useful for providing a quick and easy user interface. For example, I use it to fuzzy find inside git branches to have an "improved checkout". I do that since at work branches are usually named "-", it's faster to search for the issue number. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Best Way to Open URLs in Your Terminal via Tmux

  We have the URLs in a variable. I had to figure out a cool way to select from them. It had to be quick and easy. My first thought was to use fzf because I already used it many times with tmux, but then I also stumbled up on tmux's display-menu which you can see in this post's thumbnail. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• I a Avid Vim User, Finally Migrated to Neovim! How does it work, what do I gain from it?

  Very often when you start customizing your Vim or Neovim, you install a plugin allowing you to display the tree structure in your editor. It's nice, it allows you to have a view of the structure, but moving from one file to another is slow. So, very quickly, we turn to Fuzzy-finder. And there, generally, we come back to life and we no longer want to leave our publisher. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago

• Any library for FZF style fuzzy string matching?

  The Fuzzy string matching libraries I've found on Nuget all seem to be "edit distance" algorithms. I'm after something more like the FZF tool's algorithm. Basically, matches at the start of words are boosted (among various other clever behaviours). Source: almost 2 years ago
