fish-fzy

fish-fzy is a fish plugin which adds key bindings to use fzy at the command line. Currently supports searching file & folder names (using fd) and your shell history.

Installation

You need to install fish, fzy, and fd before you can use this plugin.

Using fisher (recommended):

fisher add cmrn/fish-fzy

Manually:

Copy the contents of conf.d/ and functions/ into their respective directories in ~/.config/fish/

Usage

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl-R	Find a command in your shell history and put it in your command line.
Ctrl-T	Find a file/folder in the current directory and insert it at your cursor.

Configuration

fish-fzy can be configured by environment variables:

Variable	Description	Default
FZY_FD_OPTS	Options passed to `fd`.	`--color=always --follow --hidden`
FZY_FD_HIDE_COMMAND_LINE	Hide the command line when searching for files & folders.	`true`

Troubleshooting

It works on my machine, it may not work on yours. If it doesn't, please open an issue!

Slow to load files & folders

fd can take a while to to run when there are lots of items in the current directory. You can exclude results using ~/.config/fd/ignore. See the fd docs for more info.

Prompt is duplicated

Due to a limitation in fish, this plugin can't erase anything before the line where it was triggered. For multi-line prompts, this means that the first line(s) of your prompt will be duplicated whenever fzy is invoked. Additionally, disabling the FZY_FD_HIDE_COMMAND_LINE option will cause your previous command line to continue to appear, even after fzy is closed. See fish-shell/fish-shell#5945.
