If set, fzf implicitly prepends its value to the options it receives on every execution, scripted and interactive.įzf.fish locally sets a sane FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS whenever it executes fzf. Always pass some options to fzfįzf supports global default options via the FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS environment variable. Once you've determined the desired fzf_configure_bindings command, add it to your config.fish in order to persist the bindings. Next, because fzf.fish is incompatible with other fzf plugins, check for and remove these two common alternatives.įinally, install this plugin with Fisher.įzf.fish can be installed manually or with other plugin managers but only Fisher is officially supported. $history is excluded for technical reasons so use Search History instead to inspect itįirst, install a proper version of these CLI dependencies: CLIįd and bat only need to be installed if you will use Search Directory.Preview window: the variable's scope info and values.Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ V ( V for variable).Fzf input: all the shell variables currently in scope.Preview window: the CPU usage, memory usage, start time, and other information about the process.Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ Alt+ P ( P for process).Fzf input: the pid and command of all running processes, outputted by ps.

Preview window: the entire command with Fish syntax highlighting.

Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ R ( R for reverse-i-search).

Preview window: the git diff of the file.

Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ Alt+ S ( S for status).

Output: relative paths of selected lines.

Fzf input: the current repository's git status.

Preview window: commit message and diff.

Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ Alt+ L ( L for log).

Fzf input: the current repository's formatted git log.

ignores files that are also ignored by git.

if the current token is a directory with a trailing slash (e.g.config/), then that directory is searched instead.

directories are inserted with a trailing /, so if you select exactly one directory, you can immediately hit ENTER to cd into it.

Preview window: file with syntax highlighting, directory contents, or file type.

Key binding and mnemonic: Ctrl+ Alt+ F ( F for file).

Output: relative paths of selected files.

Fzf input: recursive listing of current directory's non-hidden files.

All searches include a preview of the entity hovered over to help you find what you're looking for.

If you trigger a search while your cursor is on a word, that word will be used to seed the fzf query and will be replaced by your selection. Use fzf.fish to interactively find and insert file paths, git commit hashes, and other entities into your command line. Augment your Fish command line with mnemonic key bindings to efficiently find what you need using fzf.
