FZF & Search Tools¶

FZF¶

fzf is the backbone of interactive selection throughout the setup.

Keybindings¶

Key	Action
`Ctrl`+`T`	File picker (with bat preview)
`Ctrl`+`R`	History search (handled by atuin)
`Alt`+`C`	Directory picker

Theme¶

Uses Catppuccin Mocha colors for consistent appearance across all fzf prompts.

Where FZF is Used¶

af — AWS profile selection
txf — Talos context selection
gh-browse — GitHub repo browser
Tmux session picker (++prefix+f++)
Tmux dev/claude layouts (directory selection)
git wipeout — Branch deletion (via gum)
Sesh directory picker

Zoxide¶

Zoxide is a smarter cd that learns your habits.

z project      # Jump to most-used directory matching "project"
zi             # Interactive selection with fzf

Zoxide feeds into the sesh directory picker, making tmux session creation aware of your most-visited directories.

Importing History¶

# From z.sh
zoxide import --from=z ~/.z

Atuin¶

Atuin replaces shell history search with a SQLite-backed, fuzzy-searchable history.

Settings¶

Setting	Value
Search mode	Fuzzy
Filter mode	Global (all hosts)
Sync	Disabled (local only)
Style	Compact
Inline height	30 lines
Keymap	Auto (vim in vim, emacs elsewhere)

Usage¶

# Start typing and press Ctrl+R for fuzzy history search
# Or use up arrow for prefix search (atuin's up-arrow is disabled,
# using zsh's built-in prefix search instead)

Carapace¶

Carapace bridges completions from multiple shell ecosystems:

CARAPACE_BRIDGES='zsh,fish,bash,inshellisense'

Provides completions for tools that only ship fish or bash completers.

Bat¶

Bat is a cat replacement with syntax highlighting.

Theme: Catppuccin Mocha
Used as the preview command for fzf (Ctrl+T)

Yazi¶

Yazi is a terminal file manager.

y    # Open yazi in current directory
