Configuration Variables

Variable Description
ZSH_FZF_HISTORY_SEARCH_BIND Keybind to trigger fzf reverse search (default: '^r')
ZSH_FZF_HISTORY_SEARCH_FZF_ARGS Arguments for fzf (might be updated, not recommended to override) (default: '+s +m -x -e')

TODO

  • use fzf's keybindings for additional functionality (remove specific history item, clear history, etc) while keeping plugin's simplicity in mind (issue)
  • better documentation (issue)
