  21. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf Fuzzy Finder for files, history and more. Integrates with Vim (and maybe other editors). It is wicked fast.
  22. How does this compare with fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf )?

  28. 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.
  29. …bound it with `\cr`. It doesn't exactly replace Ctrl-R functionality but it suits my need. [0] https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
