zsh-history-substring-search VS up

How does this differ from https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search ? Except that yours seems to be built-in and zsh-history-substring-search is ~800 lines of zsh

git clone --depth 1 "https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search" $HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-history-substring-search

Agreed, but also https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search for me.

I can't life without this one anymore

It is the feature of fish shell, which is also ported to zsh via zsh-history-substring-search plugin.

zsh-history-substring-search: This is a clean-room implementation of the Fish shell's history search feature, where you can type in any part of any command from history and then press chosen keys, such as the UP and DOWN arrows, to cycle through matches.

In most shells, you can make use of Ctrl+R to perform backwards search through your history. After pressing Ctrl+R, you can type a substring you want to match for commands in your history. As you keep pressing it, you will cycle through the matches in your history. This can also be enabled with the UP/DOWN arrows in zsh.

That doesn't have the same behavior as fish. This plugin does: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search

zsh-history-substring-search allows you to do the same thing in zsh

In that case, history substring search can come in handy.

if you're going to use a fork of zdharma's work, this one might be better https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search (maintained by a group)

This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more like a JavaScript processor plus an interactive viewer.

Someone mention Visidata[2]? VisiData is also a TUI that is great on tabular data, and it can work with json. If your JSON is mostly tabular in nature, Visidata does a great job at showing that data and allowing you to explore it. A lot of json I deal with is tabular-like data. There is a great tutorial [3], that can help you get your bearings with Visidata. Once you understand those basics you might want to look at this thread [4] for what commands you can use with json.

Ultimate plumber can do this.

Been using up for years but this looks nice too

Fun. But I can achieve the same result (I think) with ultimate plumber and regular jq, but without being restricted just to jq. Feel free to correct me.

Up - The Ultimate Plumber makes the best pipes !

As an alternative allowing the use of any shell command/pipeline on the results interactively, see also: https://github.com/akavel/up
