fzf VS z

Install "fzf" [0] and set it up to be used with control+r, there's no going back. You get as a bonus the chance to use fzf in a lot of other places :)

I guess that more advance tool would be "atuin" [1], but it is too much for my use case.

FZF is a command line fuzzy finder. It's an incredibly powerful tool that you can use (at its simplest) to filter lists as you type.

fzf (fuzzy finder)

fzf

FZF (Fuzzy finder) is a command-line application that allows you to turn any list into an interactive menu with support for awesome fuzzy search, which you can read more about here.

So you'll need fzf installed for this example to do anything interesting.

Combining this with fzf, you can have a nice quick shortcut to quickly pick a server to connect to into.

fzf (https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) is really great. Very useful for providing a quick and easy user interface. For example, I use it to fuzzy find inside git branches to have an "improved checkout". I do that since at work branches are usually named "-", it's faster to search for the issue number.

The fzf repo has a guide/example code for ripgrep integration that works pretty well.

For even more power use z

- quickly jump to recent directory: https://github.com/rupa/z - however I find it kinda annoying it seems to forget/ignore(?) directories, anyone know of a better version of this?

- quickly opening my personal wiki: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

- re-run a script when a file changes: https://github.com/francium/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/.local/...

For `while-watchdo` you, you run it like `while-watchdo "echo hi"`, then in my editor, I have a custom shortcut that does `touch .watchfile` causing the command, in this case `echo hi` to run. I prefer this to tools that retrigger commands as soon as you save _any_ file. Also works in docker containers, edit a file on host, command runs in a container.

2) Well friend, this is where you can have the best of both of worlds. You can just open the file explorer via the CLI. Typically you'll have the xdg-open command that opens the directory in your default file browser. I have that aliased to xdgo. So you can navigate quickly to where you need to be, and then open it visually with xdgo . . There's also other really convenient navigation tools like z (https://github.com/rupa/z) that I can't imagine going without anymore.

I would like to know how you use the terminal and nvim in your daily workflow. Here is mine: I have a shortcut (with raycast) to open alacritty full screen from anywhere. I open alacritty and start the tmux (create work and personal sessions). Then using z navigate to the desired project. Next, I have a bash script pde that opens nvim, and 2 terminal splits below. Nvim opens with alpha-nvim (startify theme). For file explorer I use lir.nvim. Fuzzy finding using fzf-lua. I have harpoon but don't use it very often, instead, I manage buffers with fzf-lua and vim-bbye. When working on multiple files I usually have 2-4 vsplits. I do git stuff mostly using vim-fugitive (gv.vim, resetting hunks with gitsigns.nvim), occasionally git commands from another tmux window. I use auto-save.nvim. My most used command is :F (lsp.bug.format). For movements I use Ctrl+D/U/O/I/, sometimes relative line jumping. Other often movements [q,]q (quickfix jumps), [d,]d (diagnostics jumps), [c,]c (Gitsigns hunks). Alacritty + Neovim view

For general filesystem navigation in my terminal, I'm using z command. But for finer control, I am using the following commands.

z

Do you know about the program z? https://github.com/rupa/z

https://github.com/rupa/z is an awesome command to teleport to your most used directories. It's really handy to jump from a project to another.
