Install Plugin

This ZSH plugin enables using fzf to search your command history and do file searches.

It will automagically install fzf into your home directory if it isn't already there, and bind ^R to an fzf-powered search of your command history.

Created for the zsh-quickstart-kit to make the default setup have a more 'batteries included' feel.

(optional) Install recommended tools

Optionally, to make the most out of fzf preview (? toggle), install the following tools and enable the advanced preview (see Customization section):

  • exa - improved file/directory listing,
  • bat - a cat clone with syntax highlighting and Git integration,
  • chafa - show images (the image can look better or worse depending on the terminal app you use),
  • exiftool - also show image metadata,
  • lesspipe.sh, e.g. brew install lesspipe - and other optional tools lesspipe.sh relies on. See https://github.com/wofr06/lesspipe
    ☝ Note: This is not the lesspipe already bundled in Ubuntu/Debian but an improved one (while package is called lesspipe, the binary is lesspipe.sh).

Customization

You can customize a few features by exporting the following environment variables in your init script (.zshrc/.bashrc or similar):

Export variable Description
export FZF_PREVIEW_ADVANCED=true Use less viewer with a pre-processor to display improved previews for a wide range of files (requires you to install at least exa, bat, chafa, exiftool; and very recommended lesspipe.sh and the tools it uses underneath: mdcat, in2csv,…). This is an opt-in feature.
export FZF_PREVIEW_WINDOW='' Set any value supported by fzf --preview-window option, e.g. right:65%:nohidden will show the preview by default.
export FZF_PATH='' Path to install fzf binary and script, e.g. ${HOME}/.config/fzf.

A note on lessfilter-fzf

You can also use it as a general less preprocessor to extend the less capabilities. To do that, place the following in your shell init scripts (.zshrc/.bashrc or equivalent):

export LESSOPEN='| lessfilter-fzf %s'

Ultimately, lesspipe.sh (if present) will still honor your own lessfilter if found in your PATH, leading to the following execution: lessfilter-fzf > lesspipe.sh > lessfilter.
