fzf is very thoughtfully designed. Even installing it is a pleasant experience (which is what compelled me to submit it to HN).
Some unexpected features, in addition to just being a super-fast fuzzy-finder:
- works with pipes:
$ find * -type f | fzf > selected
- Extended-search mode (borrowed/improved from zaw[1])
- auto-completion support for bash and zsh. Used
to fuzzy-search PIDs, ssh hostnames, and of course
filename arguments for any command.
