add best fzf aliases ever #569

prime-run · 2025-05-04T20:11:00Z

Description

This PR introduces three functions to .zshenv taking advantage of fzf, aiming for better and faster Terminal navigation.

The mentioned aliased functions are as follows:

- f_efc='_fuzzy_edit_search_file_content'       # [fz]f [e]dit  [f]ile, search by [c]ontent
- fcd='_fuzzy_open_directory'             # [fz]f [o]pen [d]irectory
- f_ef='_fuzzy_edit_search_file'          # [fz]f [e]dit [f]ile

This approach takes advantage of fzf by directly inputting query which benefits us by:

a) generally faster navigation
b) triggering fzf filters at once

Some extra features:

1- excluding unwanted search results in fod function
2- null $EDITOR fallback
3- adjustable max_depth=5 for fuzzy finding
4- etc...

Type of change

Please put an x in the boxes that apply:

Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
Documentation update (non-breaking change; modified files are limited to the documentations)
Technical debt (a code change that does not fix a bug or add a feature but makes something clearer for devs)
Other (provide details below)

Screenrecors

`fcd`

fzf-hyde.mp4

instead of doing : cd ~/Projects/rust/wallrust/src
we just fuzzy it via fcd

video demonstrates 2 fuzzy "searchings" for the target dir!

`f_efc`

2025-05-04.19-57-11.mp4

we fuzzy find files containing target keyword (in this case save and os) in the directory and selecting it opens the file in $EDITOR

Additional context

This features can elevated with tools like bat and ripgrep
same aliases for fish shell will be pushed in a different PR

Configs/.zshenv

+        alias f_efc='_fuzzy_edit_search_file_content' # [fz]f [e]dit  [f]ile, search by [c]ontent
+        alias fcd='_fuzzy_open_directory'             # [fz]f [o]pen [d]irectory
+        alias f_ef='_fuzzy_edit_search_file'          # [fz]f [e]dit [f]ile


IMO it's better to have a conventional namespace for fzf.

Example:

We use ff as prefix (I guess it's not straining than flat_`

ffcd - Fuzzy Finder Change Directory
ffe - Fuzzy Finder Edit (edit and search keywords can be omitted as Fuzzy Finder already indicates a Search and in linux everything is a file)
ffec - Fuzzy Finder Edit Content (Consistent according to above with [c] being treated as a flag. Edit Content)

better to have a conventional namespace for fzf.

I AGREE!
I'll paypal you $0.42 if you take over the namings 😄😄

I currently have 0.0011 so that would be a lot 😂

i like how my PRs literally turn into a discor chat ! 😄😄

@prime-run Might be too much but check this out first.

Also, the older implementation seems useless if you have files that are deeply nested. so I explicity add find command on every level. Though, it makes the function long. I guess this can be refactored.

+            content_search=true
+            shift
+            ;;
+        --regex)


this can go so wrong on lower end machines!

useless if you have files that are deeply nested

could please elaborate with an example.

I can't search .zshrc because there is zshrc in .config/cfg_backups/.zshrc which always comes first.

also better to load shallower files than deep.

what could cause a bootleneck in here? regex? or multiple find command?

I can't search .zshrc

unless you mean .zshrc\ directory, I'd call it a feature not a bug😄 (the -d flag in find command)

what could cause a bootleneck

I would argue the whole while loop!
you can monitor your memory allocation to confirm!

and about _fuzzy_change_directory, I think it's killing the intent of the ailias! (I think it should be a different ailias)

like in the screen shot below, the goal is to cd to /home/<username>/.config/hyde/themes/Decay Green by fuzzy searching hyde/decay
am i missing something in the new _fuzzy_change_directory implementation?

UPDATE: now i see what you did there! I guess i stand by:

I think it's killing the intent of the ailias!

and to be honest, as a yazi user, I don't see how i might use the new _fuzzy_change_directory

kRHYME7 · 2025-05-05T12:47:50Z

Ah yeah. I see... how about the ffe and ffec?

I'll revert the ffod later as I understand the intent.

kRHYME7 · 2025-05-05T13:11:05Z

Owww Cool!

prime-run · 2025-05-05T13:15:23Z

I'll revert the ffod later as I understand the intent.

I commited some edits ffcd should be fine as is rn.

how about the ffe and ffec?

tbh I think my first commits was simple, fast and fairly usable!
don't get me wrong your's is practical as well but its looks really niche to me

UPDATE: now that we are clear with ffcd intent,
let me clarify on the other 2:

_fuzzy_edit_search_file : replaces : cd some/directory/path and $EDITOR taget.file.name . and is mostuseful when you are not really sure where that file is but you have a general idea! for example you have to cd some/dir then do and ls and check the list or maybe cd back and ls again then do a final cd path and idk maybe another ls to see your file listed then do an nvim taget.file.name
fuzzy_edit_search_file_content: for when you have several files in the cwd but you are not sure which one you want to edit but you know what content the file should have! if not use the alias, i gues you'd grep -irnC3 ./* and read them through then you open the file in editor or idk cat | grep <regex> all files one by one reading through them !!! also you lose the fuzzy finding. this way you just do f_efc <your target content> and you are set!

prime-run · 2025-05-05T13:29:31Z

@kRHYME7

ffcd - Fuzzy Finder Change Directory
ffe - Fuzzy Finder Edit (edit and search keywords can be omitted as Fuzzy Finder already indicates a Search and in linux everything is a file)
ffec - Fuzzy Finder Edit Content (Consistent according to above with [c] being treated as a flag. Edit Content)

is this final ?
I can apply them and nuke new implementations for now.
how does that sound ?

maybe we can move our fzf stuff to a seprate file and built on top of that in future if that fits your vision

kRHYME7 · 2025-05-05T14:01:43Z

maybe we can move our fzf stuff to a seprate file and built on top of that in future if that fits your vision

We can add it as a plugin on our plugin installation for zsh or make it a core script and make it POSIX as much possible.

is this final ?

This

ffe
ffec
ffod

I don't mind nuking the _fuzzy_search_directory (former _fuzzy_change_directory) and use ffod for that.

But please add fzf args to make it like a inline pop menu not a fullscreen (So it feels natural drop down ).

  fzf_options+=(
        --height "80%"
        --layout=reverse
        --preview-window
        right:60% --cycle
    )

About ffec I can't really navigate it well specially .config/ always comes first. and fzf just takes eternity searching all files. For now this will do but gotta find a way to fuzzy search plus prioritize shallow files.

prime-run · 2025-05-05T14:22:47Z

About ffec I can't really navigate it well

well it's assumed you are in the correct directory and you want to search for the file via its content. other wise the search results would be a mess!

for example cd to your .conf/hypr and ffec for a keybind you have added.

Basically using it in lower level directories such as ~ is a bad idea :)
in other words it's best if used in a Project directory such as ~/.config/hyde/theme/Decay Green

but gotta find a way to fuzzy search plus prioritize shallow files.

that's doable for sure! we can use history or we can add zoxide and rigpre to the core packages 😄😄

kRHYME7 · 2025-05-05T14:27:21Z

Cool, ready for merging?

prime-run · 2025-05-05T14:28:50Z

ready for merging?

I think so

prime-run · 2025-05-05T14:32:04Z

We can add it as a plugin on our plugin installation for zsh or make it a core script and make it POSIX as much possible.

so let me pull of the exact same thing (ffe, ffec, ffcd) for fish

cool ?
