It can be used to filter any list: files, command history, processes, hostnames, bookmarks, git commits, etc. It's designed to be used both as an editor plugin and on the command line. Rather than clearing the screen, fzy displays its interface directly below the current cursor position, scrolling the screen if necessary. Major benefits are: speed, great results with an advanced algorithm, no dependencies except toolchain. Most similar tools are written in go, rust or python and slower. fzy uses suckless.org methodology and a user can adjust config.h and recompile it to change a handful of settings. Gentoo provides savedconfig.eclass to let user configure this kind of software unlike on binary distros. No existing ebuilds in overlays provide this functionality. Also it installs 2 helper scripts, fzy-tmux and fzy-dvtm, which can be used to open the results in a separate tmux/dvtm pane. other distributions with fzy https://repology.org/metapackage/fzy/versions ebuilds in overlays https://gpo.zugaina.org/app-shells/fzy similar tools already in portage (Non-exhaustive list): app-shells/hstr app-shells/peco You can assign the but to me as I'm going to create a PR and maintain the package. Reproducible: Always
Awesome software. I LOVE these. Thanks for the PR! I'm going to merge it ASAP. Thanks again Georgy!
