FZF Will CHANGE How You Work

FZF is useful in so many ways. It's one of my favorite tools, and it's simple yet genius.

this is quality video. I use fzf daily but many things I didn't really know that's there. thank you

[LG-yivh]

Cool video!
But which keyboard do you use in this video? None of the keyboards in the links are like this

[marksmith]

I like fuzzy finders but I'm happy enough without. One nice trick you can do on basically any POSIX system is to pipe the output of i.e. find into less and then use / and n to search. This lets you try a lot of different possibilities almost as quickly as with dedicated fuzzy finders.

once you install it, you can't live without

The fzf+k8 part was especially awesome!

[wojciech-kulik]

What a cool video! I had no idea about all those possibilities with fzf! Thank you! Btw. I'm also using Moonlander :D

Loved the bit about fzf and rg, got inspired to create this that uses bat aswell so that you get a preview and when opened Nvim will automaticly jump to that line. Use this workflow every day inside nvim but never thought about making a tool for it to use from the CLI before i saw this- thank you very much! :)

Here it is for those who want to try it, alias it to something and use it like rg\ag <alias> <WordToGrepFor>
rg --line-number --no-heading --color=always "$@" | fzf --ansi --delimiter ':' --preview 'line={2}; start=$((line > 20 ? line - 20 : 1)); bat --style=numbers --color=always --line-range "$start:" --highlight-line {2} {1}' --phony -q "$(echo "$1" | sed "s/ /\\ /g")" --bind "enter:execute(nvim +{2} {1} < /dev/tty)" --multi

Thanks for the teaching. One of my problems is that my ctrl-T ctr-R won't work after fzf install on Mac, Any suggestion?

[walidashik]

Great video. How do you show your terminal over your video?

[alexandrunechita]

Hey, nice video on fzf.
What keyboard are you using in this video?

[aaronmcadam]

Moonlander crew let’s go!!! Would you mind sharing your layout?

[PalashBackup]

Not gonna lie, the split keyboard with the screen in between looks apt for a linux video.

[felipegutierrez]

I love your channel! do you know how to copy and paste from Zellij like a pro? If I have to copy from the terminal i always have to do it outside from Zellij?

[nkodoko]

<3 great stuff, always finding nuggets in your videos

[GenkiTheMuffin]

great video. how'd you get option c to actually trigger the shortcu, on my machine (mbp 14inch) it types out this weird character ç.

This video is not sponsored by zelij ... Thank you for sponsoring? WTF just happened?

Sound effects too loud compared to the voice.
