fzfind

fzf based file fuzzy finder for Bash

What it does

fzfind will:

  • use fzf to prompt for the file desired by the user
  • show the line typed so far with the point of insertion marked
  • take the path typed so far into account
  • quote the result
  • use either find or locate, ensuring usability on slower drives

Configuration

$FZFINDMETHOD

Specifies what utility to use for file searches. Possible values:

  • find
  • locate

$FZFINDDOBIND

Bind fzfind to ctrl+f. The default behaviour is to do so. If this is not the desired, set it to false in your bashrc before evaluating fzfind.

Dependencies

  • GNU coreutils
  • fzf

NOTE: fzfind uses the extra-minimalistic lastword executable to determine what portion of the line typed so far is a directory prefix. This information is for narrowing down the results

Instalation

  1. Run make install (to compile the last word finder C program and move it into your $PATH)
  2. Source fzfind.rc from your .bashrc or copy its contents directly into it
