Whether you’re dealing with several projects at once or you’re just looking for this single file, it’s useful to be able to get to what you’re looking for quickly and easily. There’s several options out there but they usually rely on your habits (so need time to become efficient) and are limited by the fact that they need to learn your new habits and they are a kind of “evolved” autocompletion but you still need to know the path you’re trying to reach. In addition, this does not allow you to limit your search in a given directory if needed.
When you are looking for a new file, one you don’t access so often, or one you barely remember the name, you end up relying on your dysfunctional brain unless… you know about fzf .
Before digging into fzf, note that we’ll focus on its terminal use here but it’s also a great tool to use in (Neo)vim (post to come).
