fzf provides efficient keybindings for the fzf utility. Heavily adapted from @hauleth's PR.

Then, install the fzf utility by running:
__fzf_install
- Required fish version:
>=2.2.0 - Compatible fzf versions:
>0.11.3
If the fzf binary is not detected in PATH, activating the key bindings will attempt to install it. The install directory is $HOME/.fzf.
If you wish to uninstall the binary, run:
__fzf_uninstall
Note that the binary is only installed for the current user.
| Legacy | New Keybindings | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Ctrl-t | Ctrl-f | Find a file. |
| Ctrl-r | Ctrl-r | Similar to ^ |
| Ctrl-x | Alt-x | Does the reverse isearch, and immediately executes command. |
| Alt-c | Alt-d | cd into sub-directories (recursively searched). |
| Alt-Shift-c | Alt-Shift-d | cd into sub-directories, including hidden ones. |
Legacy keybindings are kept by default, but these have conflict with keybindings in fish 2.4.0. If you want to use the new keybindings, enter the following into your terminal:
set -U FZF_LEGACY_KEYBINDINGS 0
NOTE: On OS X, Alt-c (Option-c) types ç by default. In iTerm2, you can send the right escape sequence with Esc-c. If you configure the option key to act as +Esc (iTerm2 Preferences > Profiles > Default > Keys > Left option (⌥) acts as: > +Esc), then alt-c will work for fzf as documented.
