Tip: slow fzf --preview commands can be cached using bkt to make the preview more responsive
Hi, author of bkt here. I use fzf all the time and combine it with bkt to make --preview faster. I hope you find this pattern useful!

Passing a command with double quotes to a function
Alternatively, check out bkt (also mine), which is like bash-cache but for subprocesses instead of shell functions.

New release of bkt, a subprocess caching utility
Instead, using bkt ensures each request is only sent once and all subsequent calls return locally cached results:
Enjoy! If you find it useful please let me know how you're using it!

Escaping (?)
Honestly, any reasonably complex bash script uses (or should be using!) arrays, so just poke around and you'll probably see them. Here's a fairly straightforward script of mine with several arrays: https://github.com/dimo414/bkt/blob/master/benchmark.sh

bkt: easily cache the output of command line programs
Glad to hear it! I hope you find it helpful :) If you have a few minutes please share how you're using bkt, it'll help me and others!

Show HN: TBMK – A Commands Bookmark for Terminal
I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.
I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

229 Linux Commands with Examples
There's also a cli program called tealdeer that does this kind of thing and uses a local cache. And there's a fuzzy search interactive cli cheatsheet program called navi that's also pretty cool (and you can write your own cheatsheets).
What are some alternatives?
When comparing bkt and navi you can also consider the following projects:

tldr - 📚 Collaborative cheatsheets for console commands
bash-cache - Transparent caching layer for bash functions; particularly useful for functions invoked as part of your prompt.
cheat.sh - the only cheat sheet you need
cached - Rust cache structures and easy function memoization
thefuck - Magnificent app which corrects your previous console command.
zoxide - A smarter cd command. Supports all major shells.
