fzf project consists of the followings:
- `fzf` executable
- `fzf-tmux` script for launching fzf in a tmux split
- Shell extensions
- Key bindings (`CTRL-T`, `CTRL-R`, and `ALT-C`) (bash, zsh, fish)
- Fuzzy auto-completion (bash)
- Fuzzy auto-completion (bash only)
You can [download fzf executable][bin] alone, but it's recommended that you
install the extra stuff using the attached install script.

Usage
-----
```
usage: fzf [options]
Search mode
-x, --extended Extended-search mode
-e, --extended-exact Extended-search mode (exact match)
-i Case-insensitive match (default: smart-case match)
+i Case-sensitive match
-n, --nth=N[,..] Comma-separated list of field index expressions
for limiting search scope. Each can be a non-zero
integer or a range expression ([BEGIN]..[END])
--with-nth=N[,..] Transform the item using index expressions for search
-d, --delimiter=STR Field delimiter regex for --nth (default: AWK-style)
Search result
+s, --no-sort Do not sort the result
--tac Reverse the order of the input
(e.g. 'history | fzf --tac --no-sort')
Interface
-m, --multi Enable multi-select with tab/shift-tab
--no-mouse Disable mouse
+c, --no-color Disable colors
+2, --no-256 Disable 256-color
--black Use black background
--reverse Reverse orientation
--prompt=STR Input prompt (default: '> ')
Scripting
-q, --query=STR Start the finder with the given query
-1, --select-1 Automatically select the only match
-0, --exit-0 Exit immediately when there's no match
-f, --filter=STR Filter mode. Do not start interactive finder.
--print-query Print query as the first line
--sync Synchronous search for multi-staged filtering
(e.g. 'fzf --multi | fzf --sync')
Environment variables
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND Default command to use when input is tty
FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS Defaults options. (e.g. '-x -m')
```
fzf will launch curses-based finder, read the list from STDIN, and write the
selected item to STDOUT.

vim $(fzf)
```
### Keys
Use CTRL-J and CTRL-K (or CTRL-N and CTRL-P) to change the selection, press
enter key to select the item. CTRL-C, CTRL-G, or ESC will terminate the finder.
The following readline key bindings should also work as expected.
- CTRL-A / CTRL-E
- CTRL-B / CTRL-F
- CTRL-H / CTRL-D
- CTRL-W / CTRL-U / CTRL-Y
- ALT-B / ALT-F
If you enable multi-select mode with `-m` option, you can select multiple items
with TAB or Shift-TAB key.
#### Using the finder
You can also use mouse. Double-click on an item to select it or shift-click (or
ctrl-click) to select multiple items. Use mouse wheel to move the cursor up and
down.
- `CTRL-J` / `CTRL-K` (or `CTRL-N` / `CTRL-P)` to move cursor up and down
- `Enter` key to select the item, `CTRL-C` / `CTRL-G` / `ESC` to exit
- On multi-select mode (`-m`), `TAB` and `Shift-TAB` to mark multiple items
- Emacs style key bindings
- Mouse: scroll, click, double-click; shift-click and shift-scroll on
multi-select mode
### Extended-search mode
#### Extended-search mode
With `-x` or `--extended` option, fzf will start in "extended-search mode".

Key bindings for command line
-----------------------------
@ -225,13 +146,26 @@ If you want to customize the key bindings, consider editing the
installer-generated source code: `~/.fzf.bash`, `~/.fzf.zsh`, and
`~/.config/fish/functions/fzf_key_bindings.fish`.
Auto-completion
---------------
`fzf-tmux` script
-----------------
Disclaimer: *Auto-completion feature is currently experimental, it can change
over time*
[fzf-tmux](bin/fzf-tmux) is a bash script that opens fzf in a tmux split.
### bash
```sh
# usage: fzf-tmux [-h HEIGHT[%]] [-w WIDTH[%]] [--] [FZF OPTIONS]
# select git branches in horizontal split (15 lines)
git branch | fzf-tmux -h 15
# select multiple words in vertical split (20% of screen width)
cat /usr/share/dict/words | fzf-tmux -w 20% --multi
```
It will still work even when you're not on tmux, silently ignoring `-h` and
`-w` options, so you can invariably use `fzf-tmux` in your scripts.

### Using fzf with tmux splits
#### Using fzf with tmux splits
It isn't too hard to write your own fzf-tmux combo like the default

The supplied [fzf-tmux](bin/fzf-tmux) script should suffice in most of the
cases, but if you want to be able to update command line like the default
`CTRL-T` key binding, you'll have to use `send-keys` command of tmux. The
following example will show you how it can be done.
