powerline VS fzf.vim

Powerline (and airline, as well as all plugins of that kind) offers, among other things, a GUI that helps you manage buffers and tabs. There are plugins that do just that and nothing else, which are best used alongside powerline/airline/etc, for example bufferline.

Powerline Provides a much nicer status line in Vim, including integration with Git to tell you what branch you’re on and the tracking status of the file you’re working on.

powerline includes prompts for bash and zsh that include git info. (despite selling itself as a vim statusline, I believe you can use its shell prompts without using it with vim.)

Could also be a patched font. Some fonts use the private use area of unicode to draw glyphs for use in interface. Check out for example these patched fonts for Powerline on GitHub. Powerline is a status line plugin for vim and it uses text to draw the interface. If you download one, drop it on a font visualizer e.g. fontdrop.info you'll see a range of specific glyphs inside the private use area (E000–F8FF). There's even an Ubuntu logo at E0FF.

You are wrong

Wait until you discover that you can apply powerline to both of them

IBM Plex is an interesting font that I'm looking forward to, and I would like to try it out. However, you may be in similar setup as I am, which relays on Powerline glyphs in order to display vim/statusline/prompt correctly.

Looks like I installed this one via apt-get. To use it, I have this in my ~/.config/fish/fish.config:

Fuzzy Finder: fzf.vim (for its speed) along with telescope.nvim (for its ecosystem)

And added my keyboard shortcuts.

There are two plugins allowing us to use fzf in Vim: the native fzf plugin directly installed with fzf, and fzf.vim. The second plugin is built on the first one.

You might be interested in installing the fzf-vim plugin [0]. It has a user-defined command :Maps which can be used to search through all keybindings (you can also do this with just :nmap in vim, but the fzf interface is much nicer). It also provides :Commands. This behaves remarkably like VSCode's command palette.

You'll also need https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim (which is imo the only vim plugin that's a must).

I do all my file operations from the command line. But to open and search files I use fzf

Regarding plugins , I am using https://github.com/Donaldttt/fuzzyy because it works in windows, unlike https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim

There's a :Buffers command in fzf.vim that I use extensively. It opens a fuzzy-find window with all open buffers in a MRU list.

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

they're likely referring to fzf.vim, the vimscript plugin from the original fzf author that wraps around fzf. there's also fzf-lua nowadays.
