New to the command-line
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.
