tmux-fzf VS fzf-tab

https://github.com/sainnhe/tmux-fzf also have keybindings support

And if you have lot of projects open, like I usually do, I would suggest tmux-fzf to switch between them.

So I have recently moved to tmux and I find it amazing, I would like to be able to navigate across my projects that I am working on assuming that all of my projects are not in home directory. I think that should be fairly easy to do with some sort of an existing plugin. Basically I am looking for something like https://github.com/sainnhe/tmux-fzf but I want to be able to move across my projects. Is there something already available to achieve this?

tmux More convenient and intuitive switching between windows, sessions and more.

I have tmux shortcut ctrl+a ctrl+wso I can fuzzy search my projects/tabs. I found about that fuzzy search plugin 8 months ago and it's been awesome addition to my tmux config as it's very quick to jump to different project.

This tool has been very handy for the actions that I need to do in tmux every now and again but the ones that I would forget a keybind for if I created one.

Am i the only one who feels fish is not worth it despite of hype? Don't get me wrong. I think that fish is really good shell.

BUT...

After adding the following plugins to zsh(before you chime in, it's just adding these lines,not anything configuring much. also it auto bootstraps on new install), I found out that fish is no where near configured zsh.

1) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit (plugin manager)

2) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin...

3) https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/history-search-multi-wo...

4) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions

5) https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-completions

6) https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab

7) any good shell prompt generator like https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k

For example, I use fzf integration for tab completion. Fish's fzf integration is nowhere as good as that of zsh's. Also, posix compat and almost bash compat of zsh is plus.

I acknowledge that zsh isn't perfect shell either and I have tried and failed few times in past to switch to fish. If you provide me compelling reason/s to switch to fish, I am all ears.

Seriously, see https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab/pull/132.

Basically I want one that works like fzf-tab, but instead of using fzf I want dmenu, I asked chatGPT to make one (I'm aware of how pathetic this sounds...) but it didn't work the way I expected

You might have better luck with finding the answer if you file an issue at https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion. Few here are using https://github.com/lincheney/fzf-tab-completion (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab is a much more popular alternative among zsh users).

Here is another great plugin that pairs nicely with the above.

Yeah it's just the prefect tool for speeding up so many things in the command line. I even have Fzf pop up for tab completion with fzf-tab.

There's a popular autosuggestion extension (https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions) which puts dimmed suggestions from the command history in front of the cursor. I use & like it a lot -- however it doesn't do command descriptions as in your sample picture. fzf-tab does something similar, though (https://github.com/Aloxaf/fzf-tab); I find it very useful likewise.

Just want to make sure: Have you looked into fzf-tab before starting to implement this?
