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

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