    Use a plumbing program like handlr to open with the correct program without needing to type the program. alias handlr to something simple like f to reduce the keystrokes. If you want to be even more efficient write a wrapper-script around handlr which starts fzf if no argument to handlr is provided so you can immediately fuzzy-find a file. If the provided parameter is a directory than cd into it otherwise call handlr. This way you never have to type cd, fzf or any other program to open a file again.

    I use https://github.com/chmln/handlr to set witch program associates with what. It is really poorly handled buy default imo. It is rust based so maybe some depends.
