FZF in Rust. fzf is a command-line fuzzy finder written in Go while fzf-rs is a re-implementation in Rust!

TODO: add gif

Usage

Current requires nightly rust to build. clone the repo and run:

cargo build --release

and put the resulting target/release/fzf-rs executable on your PATH.

Now try out the following commands:

# directly input fzf-rs
fzf-rs

# or pipe some input to it: (press TAB key select multiple items with -m enabled)
vim $(find . -name "*.rs" | fzf-rs -m)

The above command will allow you to select files with ".rs" extension and open the ones you selected in vim.

Key bindings

Some common used keybindings.

key	Action
Enter	Accept (select current one and quit)
ESC/Ctrl-G/Ctrl-Q	Abort
Ctrl-P/Up	Move cursor up
Ctrl-N/Down	Move cursor Down
TAB	Toggle selection and move down (with -m)
Shift-TAB	Toggle selection and move up (with -m)

Basically keys work in fzf will work in fzf-rs.

About fzf-rs

One target of fzf-rs is to be compatible with fzf, so that we can re-use all the plugins(such as fzf.vim) that comes with fzf. Of course now it is far from finished.

Difference to fzf

This project is written from scratch. Some decisions of impelmentation are different from fzf. For example:

1. The fuzzy search algorithm is different.
2. UI of showing matched items. fzf will show only the range matched while fzf-rs will show each character matched.
3. The implementation details are quite different if you care.
