fzf - Fuzzy finder for your shell
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
fzf is a general-purpose fuzzy finder for your shell.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It was heavily inspired by [ctrlp.vim](https://github.com/kien/ctrlp.vim) and
|
|
the likes.
|
|
|
|
Requirements
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
fzf requires Ruby (>= 1.8.5).
|
|
|
|
Installation
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Clone this repository and run
|
|
[install](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/install) script.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.git ~/.fzf
|
|
~/.fzf/install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script will setup:
|
|
|
|
- `fzf` executable
|
|
- Key bindings (`CTRL-T`, `CTRL-R`, etc.)
|
|
- Fuzzy auto-completion for bash
|
|
|
|
### Install as Vim plugin
|
|
|
|
You can use any Vim plugin manager to install fzf for Vim. If you don't use one,
|
|
I recommend you try [vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug).
|
|
|
|
1. [Install vim-plug](https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug#usage)
|
|
2. Edit your .vimrc
|
|
|
|
call plug#begin()
|
|
Plug 'junegunn/fzf'
|
|
" ...
|
|
call plug#end()
|
|
|
|
3. Run `:PlugInstall`
|
|
|
|
Usage
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
usage: fzf [options]
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-m, --multi Enable multi-select
|
|
-x, --extended Extended-search mode
|
|
-q, --query=STR Initial query
|
|
-s, --sort=MAX Maximum number of matched items to sort (default: 1000)
|
|
+s, --no-sort Do not sort the result. Keep the sequence unchanged.
|
|
-i Case-insensitive match (default: smart-case match)
|
|
+i Case-sensitive match
|
|
+c, --no-color Disable colors
|
|
|
|
Environment variables
|
|
FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND Default command to use when input is tty
|
|
FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS Defaults options. (e.g. "-x -m --sort 10000")
|
|
FZF_MOUSE_ENABLED Set to 0 to disable mouse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
fzf will launch curses-based finder, read the list from STDIN, and write the
|
|
selected item to STDOUT.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
find * -type f | fzf > selected
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Without STDIN pipe, fzf will use find command to fetch the list of
|
|
files excluding hidden ones. (You can override the default command with
|
|
`FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND`)
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
vim $(fzf)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you want to preserve the exact sequence of the input, provide `--no-sort` (or
|
|
`+s`) option.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
history | fzf +s
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Key binding
|
|
|
|
Use CTRL-J and CTRL-K (or CTRL-N and CTRL-P) to change the selection, press
|
|
enter key to select the item. CTRL-C, CTRL-G, or ESC will terminate the finder.
|
|
|
|
The following readline key bindings should also work as expected.
|
|
|
|
- CTRL-A / CTRL-E
|
|
- CTRL-B / CTRL-F
|
|
- CTRL-W / CTRL-U
|
|
- ALT-B / ALT-F
|
|
|
|
If you enable multi-select mode with `-m` option, you can select multiple items
|
|
with TAB or Shift-TAB key.
|
|
|
|
You can also use mouse. Click on an item to select it or shift-click to select
|
|
multiple items. Use mouse wheel to move the cursor up and down.
|
|
|
|
### Extended-search mode
|
|
|
|
With `-x` or `--extended` option, fzf will start in "extended-search mode".
|
|
|
|
In this mode, you can specify multiple patterns delimited by spaces,
|
|
such as: `^music .mp3$ sbtrkt !rmx`
|
|
|
|
| Token | Description | Match type |
|
|
| -------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------- |
|
|
| `^music` | Items that start with `music` | prefix-exact-match |
|
|
| `.mp3$` | Items that end with `.mp3` | suffix-exact-match |
|
|
| `sbtrkt` | Items that match `sbtrkt` | fuzzy-match |
|
|
| `!rmx` | Items that do not match `rmx` | inverse-fuzzy-match |
|
|
| `'wild` | Items that include `wild` | exact-match (quoted) |
|
|
| `!'fire` | Items that do not include `fire` | inverse-exact-match |
|
|
|
|
Useful examples
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# vimf - Open selected file in Vim
|
|
vimf() {
|
|
FILE=$(fzf) && vim "$FILE"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# fd - cd to selected directory
|
|
fd() {
|
|
DIR=$(find ${1:-*} -path '*/\.*' -prune -o -type d -print 2> /dev/null | fzf) && cd "$DIR"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# fda - including hidden directories
|
|
fda() {
|
|
DIR=$(find ${1:-.} -type d 2> /dev/null | fzf) && cd "$DIR"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# fh - repeat history
|
|
fh() {
|
|
eval $(history | fzf +s | sed 's/ *[0-9]* *//')
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# fkill - kill process
|
|
fkill() {
|
|
ps -ef | sed 1d | fzf -m | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -${1:-9}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Key bindings for command line
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
The install script will setup the following key bindings.
|
|
|
|
### bash
|
|
|
|
- `CTRL-T` - Paste the selected file path(s) into the command line
|
|
- `CTRL-R` - Paste the selected command from history into the command line
|
|
|
|
The source code can be found in `~/.fzf.bash`.
|
|
|
|
### zsh
|
|
|
|
- `CTRL-T` - Paste the selected file path(s) into the command line
|
|
- `CTRL-R` - Paste the selected command from history into the command line
|
|
- `ALT-C` - cd into the selected directory
|
|
|
|
The source code can be found in `~/.fzf.zsh`.
|
|
|
|
Auto-completion
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Disclaimer: *Auto-completion feature is currently experimental, it can change
|
|
over time*
|
|
|
|
### bash
|
|
|
|
#### Files and directories
|
|
|
|
Fuzzy completion for files and directories can be triggered if the word before
|
|
the cursor ends with the trigger sequence which is by default `**`.
|
|
|
|
- `COMMAND [DIRECTORY/][FUZZY_PATTERN]**<TAB>`
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Files under current directory
|
|
# - You can select multiple items with TAB key
|
|
vim **<TAB>
|
|
|
|
# Files under parent directory
|
|
vim ../**<TAB>
|
|
|
|
# Files under parent directory that match `fzf`
|
|
vim ../fzf**<TAB>
|
|
|
|
# Files under your home directory
|
|
vim ~/**<TAB>
|
|
|
|
|
|
# Directories under current directory (single-selection)
|
|
cd **<TAB>
|
|
|
|
# Directories under ~/github that match `fzf`
|
|
cd ~/github/fzf**<TAB>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Process IDs
|
|
|
|
Fuzzy completion for PIDs is provided for kill command. In this case
|
|
there is no trigger sequence, just press tab key after kill command.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Can select multiple processes with <TAB> or <Shift-TAB> keys
|
|
kill -9 <TAB>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Host names
|
|
|
|
For ssh and telnet commands, fuzzy completion for host names is provided. The
|
|
names are extracted from /etc/hosts and ~/.ssh/config.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
ssh **<TAB>
|
|
telnet **<TAB>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Settings
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
# Use ~~ as the trigger sequence instead of the default **
|
|
export FZF_COMPLETION_TRIGGER='~~'
|
|
|
|
# Options to fzf command
|
|
export FZF_COMPLETION_OPTS='+c -x'
|
|
```
|

Usage as Vim plugin
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
If you install fzf as a Vim plugin, `:FZF` command will be added.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
" Look for files under current directory
|
|
:FZF
|
|
|
|
" Look for files under your home directory
|
|
:FZF ~
|
|
|
|
" With options
|
|
:FZF --no-sort -m /tmp
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can override the source command which produces input to fzf.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:fzf_source = 'find . -type f'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And you can predefine default options to fzf command.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
let g:fzf_options = '--no-color --extended'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more advanced uses, you can call `fzf#run` function as follows.
|
|
|
|
```vim
|
|
:call fzf#run('tabedit', '-m +c')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Most of the time, you will prefer native Vim plugins with better integration
|
|
with Vim. The only reason one might consider using fzf in Vim is its speed. For
|
|
a very large list of files, fzf is significantly faster and it does not block.
|
|
|
|
Tips
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
### Faster startup with `--disable-gems` options
|
|
|
|
If you're running Ruby 1.9 or above, you can improve the startup time with
|
|
`--disable-gems` option to Ruby.
|
|
|
|
- `time ruby ~/bin/fzf -h`
|
|
- 0.077 sec
|
|
- `time ruby --disable-gems ~/bin/fzf -h`
|
|
- 0.025 sec
|
|
|
|
You can define fzf function with the option as follows:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
fzf() {
|
|
ruby --disable-gems ~/bin/fzf "$@"
|
|
}
|
|
export -f fzf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
However, this is automatically set up in your .bashrc and .zshrc if you use the
|
|
bundled [install](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/install) script.
|
|
|
|
### Incorrect display on Ruby 1.8
|
|
|
|
It is reported that the output of fzf can become unreadable on some terminals
|
|
when it's running on Ruby 1.8. If you experience the problem, upgrade your Ruby
|
|
to 1.9 or above. Ruby 1.9 or above is also required for displaying Unicode
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
### Ranking algorithm
|
|
|
|
fzf sorts the result first by the length of the matched substring, then by the
|
|
length of the whole string. However it only does so when the number of matches
|
|
is less than the limit which is by default 1000, in order to avoid the cost of
|
|
sorting a large list and limit the response time of the query.
|
|
|
|
This limit can be adjusted with `-s` option, or with the environment variable
|
|
`FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--sort 20000"
|
|
```
