I chose Zsh over fish because of its large community, plugins, themes and widgets (also because of past knowledge). However, I have found Zsh code to be a bit hacky as it always has been. I may consider Fish in the future or a shell like nushell if it makes things like that easier.
Note
This document is a note for my future self. Confirm that the purpose of this shell still makes sense in the functions it provides and its ux.
fzf1
ctrl+t. Paste the selected file path(s) into the command line.alt+c.cdinto the selected directory.ctrl+r. Paste the selected command from history into the command line.kill -9 **<TAB>. List all processes for select and kill.
zoxide2
cd. Full replacement of shell cd builtin command.cdi. Open interactive selection (fzf).cd foo<SPACE><TAB>. Interactive completions (fzf).cd foo<TAB>. Interactive selection (fzf) or auto-completion.
fzf-tab3
It will show zsh completions using fzf when pressing tab. It must be the last
plugin to bin ^I in order to keep the
compatibility
with others. You can use bindkey -M main | grep 'fzf-tab-complete' to check that it is properly seated.
ctrl+space. Multi-selection infzf.
fzf-git4
Provides a lot of fzf function bindings for git repositories.
navi5
ctrl+g. Find string in Navi cheat sheets. Replace with the snippet.
