This helped me begin using fzf more effectively. I know you put a lot of time into this. Thank you.

Very nice and helpful video.
I had fzf installed for a long time but never understood what the heck is going
After looking into it a bit deeper I love it and this video showed me a lot more useful 🙏

how use hotkey (ctrlT altT ) in macOs?

[vermilion-at-dawn]

Hi, what is that terminal and prompt? They look so clean.

the OMZ plugin calles zsh-navigation-tools does fuzzy search with bindkeys. I reinstalled my system and couldn't figure out what plugin I was missing. I missed this functionality so much. It was like losing a part of my brain. I figured out fzf does the same thing, and I think it's better.

for some reason fd doesn't work for me even when I have it installed. I just get "eval command not found: fd --type f --color=never --hidden" and I have fd installed. Don't know whats wrong!

[userhjg]

for mac users - use `esc + c` instead of `alt + c`

I installed fzf but ctrl+r wasn't overriden

With all due respect, the whole "copy/paste" approach to DevOps I see so many people taking now is actually really horrible. You traded in a package manager because you didn't want to trust what's going on under the hood (despite the fact we're talking about Free Software which provides the freedom to access and study the source code). Ok, that's fine... I can respect that. The problem is, you then built something which you are then advocating people essentially "blindly trust" by copying and pasting (<~ the absolute worst way input data from an integrity perspective). I know you'll say "but they can read it" and yes, that may be practical when you're talking about a dozen lines. What we have here however, is a matter of scale. Sure, a few scripts and dotfiles, etc are fine to approach in this fashion but again, we're advocating habits here. This is why so many kids today expect to build a kubernetes cluster with a copy/paste command they found on the Internet. Meanwhile, they end up having no clue what's happening underneath or what they actually installed onto their system.

By default, ignoring proper package managers is a bad idea. Know what you are doing.

ironic how you use fzf to kill htop, htop being the best tool to kill other processes…
