  15. I've been quiet happy with https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/Examples-(fish) as a ctrl-r replacement for fish. I would love this included natively in fish though so I won't have to manage remote shell configurations.

  23. I'm constantly impressed by fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ). I use it both from the shell (for files and command history) as well as a fuzzy finder in vim. I greatly enjoy the speed and intuitiveness.
  24. Have you tried FZF (the fuzzy finder)? https://github.com/junegunn/fzf It integrates well with UNIX shells, editors (VIM integration is excellent), git log search etc. It's really versatile. Of course, there is also q:…

  28. …from vim (:!) then you can grep everything and remove the need for silver search. I use FZF ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ) which is another fuzzy searcher that's optimized for speed, built with Go. For those that don't want to put in…

  29. …simple an unintrusive. I often type things like "z s" and end up in the right place =P There's also https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/ for a more "graphical" method.
  30. FZF? Works in Vim and on the command line. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
  31. Fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ) kind of does what you want. If you type svn commit ./path/to/<Star><Star><tab> It launches a fuzzy Finder (within the terminal) that you can use to recursively search through `to`. You can use the…

  36. Extremely faster than ctrlp. And I think it's easier to use than fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ) for now on Vim. It is/can: * Written in Python. * Support for fuzzy and regex searching. * Manage buffers and mrus. * Open multiple…

  41. Also have a look at fzf: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
  42. …something nicer than the standard ctrl-r to search it with. [fzf] is ctrl-r on steroids. [fzf]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf It's a fuzzy pattern matcher for your shell history (and lots more).
  43. …it treats files within Git repositories, but other than that I tell what the differences are. [1]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

  44. …only an issue when opening a new file so it doesn't cause work to be lost. A github issue about it https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/206
  45. Looks similar to fzf[1], which is also written in Go. [1]: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
  46. I use fzf[0] for similar purposes. [0] https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
