config VS mcfly

I went through the initial config wizard of zsh exactly once, almost a decade ago[1]. It took me maybe 5-10 minutes, and even though I don't fully understand what each command means, I haven't modified it in all this time, and it works well. I really don't think this was any significant waste of time or tedious task - I was just as free to simply ignore it.

Most of the remainder of my zsh config are prompt utilities and other things I've added over the years. I don't use or really need any plugins, though if I needed, last time I tried zplug it was really easy to set up and use.

I've had a great time using McFly (https://github.com/cantino/mcfly) for going through my command history. It prioritizes showing commands that were previously run in your current directory!

I end up installing mcfly (https://github.com/cantino/mcfly) in all my shells, and it works great in fish as well.

You should try https://github.com/cantino/mcfly, it replaces the Ctrl r bind for fuzzy-search-style patter matching, that you can see all the similar commands and then select the one you want, it has been on all my machines ever since I've learnd of it

There's also McFly which does the same thing.

I've only used McFly and found it to be pretty great. My only complaint is the default search mode is SQL strings, so you have to use `%` for wildcards. I wish it was a more forgiving, less exact search.

Has anyone used both and could compare them?

If you like searching your Bash history with fzf, you're gonna love McFly: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
