zoxide VS skim

Head over to ajeetdsouza/zoxide and install it now! It's innovative, free, and flexible!

I use this Rust clone which works great, no complaints: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Although, I don't know what the difference is, other than the language of choice.

I use https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide, which is inspired by z and autojump.

Zoxide is basically the 'Rust Rewrite' version of the 'Z' tool and is actively maintained, I haven't had any issues with it: https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide

Indeed, utilities like zoxide which operate primarily as a cd replacement don't attempt to change directories via rust code - they create a shell alias that ultimately invokes a shell builtin to do it.

I also still use zoxide for navigating directories. It's a smarter cd command that learns your habits and makes navigating directories a breeze.

4. Zoxide

Not sure what you mean by bookmarks, but I use zoxide to quickly jump to frequently used folders.

I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

I’m not familiar at all with fzf, but I do know that skim supports this.

You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.

fzf skim

Agreed, but use skim instead
