    • Project mention: How can I add this functionality to my Bash? | /r/bash | 2023-07-09

    Look into the bash-completion project. I'm not sure about "brief descriptions", though: It's possible with bash's programmable completion functionality, but I don't think bash-completion even tries to do that.

  • fzf-tab

    Replace zsh's default completion selection menu with fzf!

    • Project mention: fish-shell: the user-friendly command-line shell | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-26

    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.

  • extrakto

    extrakto for tmux - quickly select, copy/insert/complete text without a mouse

    • Project mention: Are We Sixel Yet | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-14

    For me personally tmux giver minor improvements (some of them are done by some terminals, some are not), e.g.:

    * Text selection using variuos shortcuts (usually I use it only for URL):

    https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-copycat

    * FZF autocompletion from output, e.g. in case I want to diff some file I see changed in `git status`:

    https://github.com/laktak/extrakto

  • fzf-tab-completion

    Tab completion using fzf

    • Project mention: How can i achieve this zsh expansion? | /r/zsh | 2023-04-26

    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).
