   🔍🐟 Fzf plugin for Fish

   

   I use fish with one plugin - fzf.fish. It's invaluable to me and the shortcuts are second nature to me now.

   using zsh? use one of these, they work better than this. (Demo https://asciinema.org/a/155704)

   I prefer these two, you get good performance, search that is semi-shell syntax aware, ranking that takes age somewhat into account, and syntax hilighting.

   Fly through your shell history. Great Scott!

   

   I've been using McFly [1] recently, and like it a lot.

   > McFly replaces your default ctrl-r shell history search with an intelligent search engine that takes into account your working directory and the context of recently executed commands. McFly's suggestions are prioritized in real time with a small neural network.

    Bacon replaces that command entirely for me (and many other cargo commands which would otherwise be run repetitively). https://dystroy.org/bacon/

    > The network aspects of Atuin also gave me the heebie-jeebies. Reasonable people can differ on such matters.

    The networking stuff can be fully compiled out of Atuin. The client and sync feature flags[1] control this, and it's fairly trivial to confirm that the networking crate (reqwest) is only enabled when the sync feature is enabled.[2]

    Atuin can also be configured to only talk to your own sync server rather than the Atuin run server, and the history is e2e encrypted, so :shrug:. There's enough good engineering there that I'd not put it as particularly high on my list of security risks.
