fzf-lua VS fzf

Shoutout to fzf-lua for adding support for code action previews! I just updated my config and I'm quite happy with the result :)

Glance an eye to fzf-lua, the quickstart section let you try the plugin in seconds.

fzf-lua - fast and minimal Telescope alternative.

Thanks to fzf.vim and fzf-lua, everything I learned and copied is from them.

With fzf-lua every selection sent to qf (or loclist) generated a new list with the context as name (I.e files: lua), you can then browse the quick fix history with :FzfLua quickfix_stack.

Hello everyone, I am a happy user of both fzf-lua and todo-comments.nvim. I will never thank the authors of these two very useful plugins enough. Now, given that there are a lot of people out there using both and that todo-comments only has a Trouble and a Telescope extension for navigating through the comments, I am wondering if someone ever came up with an fzf-lua extension for todo-comments.nvim. I haven't found it by a quick online search, but maybe someone is keeping it very well hidden in their dotfiles.

I recently made a Telescope extension to search your git history by content, commit message and author (reddit post). I extended the plugin so you can use it with fzf-lua 🚀

I use https://github.com/ibhagwan/fzf-lua and in my opinion its better than Telescope. It was always faster but maybe Telescope has cought up now, not sure. But it also has stuff like filtering results by simple regex like I do in pic here.

Like what? I haven't run into any issues. The main one is that some plugins only support Linux, mainly fzf-lua (and I've contributed like 1-line patches to other plugins to add support for windows.)

In addition, I think bash's `operate-and-get-next` can be very helpful. When you go back through your shell history, you can hit Ctrl+o instead of enter and it will execute the command then put the next one in your history on the command line, and keep track of where you are in your history. This way, you can rerun a bunch of commands by going to the first one and Ctrl+o till you are done. And you can edit those commands and hit Ctrl+o and still go to the next previously run command.

Note: fzf's history search feature breaks this. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/2399

fzf : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Those are the most used aliases in my gitconfig.

"git fza" shows a list of modified/new files in an fzf window, and you can select each file with tab plus arrow keys. When you hit enter, those files are fed into "git add". Needs fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

"git gone" removes local branches that don't exist on the remote.

"git root" prints out the root of the repo. You can alias it to "cd $(git root)", and zip back to the repo root from a deep directory structure. This one is less useful now for me since I started using zoxide to jump around. https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

The fzf search syntax can help, if you become familiar with it. It is also supported in atuin [2].

[2]: https://docs.atuin.sh/configuration/config/#fuzzy-search-syn...

You call it with `n` and get an interactive fuzzy search for your directories. If you do `n ` instead, it’ll start the find with `` already filled in (and if there’s only one match, jump to it directly). The `ls` is optional but I find that I like having the contents visible as soon as I change a directory.

I’m also including iCloud Drive but excluding the Library directory as that is too noisy. I have a separate `nl` function which searches just inside `~/Library` for when I need it, as well as other specialised `n` functions that search inside specific places that I need a lot.

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

You can also use fzf with ripgrep to great effect:
