fzf-fish-integration VS dust

I do find the history pager stuff interesting, but ultimately not of tremendous use for me. I rebound all my history search stuff to use fzf[1] (via a fish plugin for such[2]), and so haven't been aware of the issues

I like https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish

Can also do cool stuff like search for a file to open in $EDITOR and searching git log

There is new pull request with new function for fzf.fish, that enables fzf-tab completion.

It may be worth checking the fzf plugin you're using with Fish. There is a more recent+maintained effort[0] that brings an even more delightful feature set, particularly with Ctrl+R/_fzf_search_history

I missed the shell integration when switching to Fish a couple of years ago. fzf.fish saved the day, I wouldn't be without the keybindings now (Ctrl+Alt+F is roughly the equivalent of `*`)

I am the creator of fzf.fish plugin. I'm currently looking for ways to improve the plugin, especially for ideas to simplify it and make it more accessible for everyone, not just power users.

Shameless plug for https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish, which definitely covers searching your history and has plenty of other usages the commandline command, mentioned above.

For commands with many arguments that are in the history, history search is absolutely better than auto-suggest, yes. But I'd also recommend fzf + fzf.fish in that case, for turbo-charged history (and other) searches.

I put a some time and effort in it, but i've been greatly influenced by the excellent PatrickF1/fzf.fish: Augment your fish command line with fzf key bindings. (github.com) plugin, with its great configuration management (using a dedicated function).

Try using dust https://github.com/bootandy/dust

Folks open to using gdu might like to try dust (6k stars), or even erdtree (1.4k stars) which is too recent to show up on lists like this and still a bit behind on stars. A lot of people seem to use starship (33k stars) though I'm personally oldschool on prompts. There are many other items on that list I'm not motivated to check.

The first thought I had was to use rayon for this. And looking at some prior art that does pretty much the exact same thing, it does indeed use rayon.

The dust CLI command (made with Rust) can do this too.

How does this compare to dust?

Happened to me this morning, something filled up my drive in minutes. I used dust[1] to look for large files while it was happening but knowing what was doing it would've been a big help.

dust is also really nice.
