# 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
