## Demo

![demonstration screencast](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/21299126/151639939-0709d636-52e6-45fd-af19-6ce49671c47a.gif)

## Install

```zsh
# zinit
zinit light b0o/zfzf
```

## Usage

zfzf can work in three ways:

- as a standalone utlity by running the `zfzf` command
- as a ZLE (zsh line editor) plugin via a keyboard shortcut
- as a Zsh completion for file paths (experimental and buggy)

### As a standalone utility

zfzf can be invoked by running the `zfzf` command and optionally passing a path
as the first argument. The result will be printed to stdout.

### As a ZLE plugin

By default, zfzf is mapped to `Alt-period`. If your cursor is adjacent to any
non-whitespace text when you trigger zfzf, it will attempt to interpret that
text as a path.

### As a Zsh completion function

If you would like to use zfzf to complete filenames when you press tab, you
should call the `enable-zfzf-tab` function in your `.zshrc`.

If you use other completion plugins like fzf-tab, you should call
`enable-zfzf-tab` after all other plugins have been loaded and enabled,
otherwise another plugin may override zfzf.

You can later call `disable-zfzf-tab` to restore the prior completion function.

```

zfzf v0.2.0

zfzf is a fzf-based file picker for zsh which allows you to easily navigate the
directory hierarchy and pick files using keybindings.

zfzf can be used as a standalone program, as an explicit zle widget, and as a
file path completion. By default, zfzf can be explicitly triggered with Alt-.
(this is configurable with the ZFZF_ZSH_BINDING option).

If you would like to use zfzf as your file completion when you press tab, you
should call the enable-zfzf-tab function in your .zshrc. If you use other
completion plugins like fzf-tab, you should call enable-zfzf-tab after all
other plugins have been loaded and enabled. You can later call disable-zfzf-tab
to restore the prior completion function.

Configuration Options
Environment Variable Default Value

ZFZF_ENABLE_COLOR 1
When enabled, files and previews will be colorized.

ZFZF_ENABLE_PREVIEW 1
When enabled, the focused item will be displayed in the fzf preview window.

ZFZF_ENABLE_DOT_DOTDOT 1
When enabled, display '.' and '..' at the top of the file listing.

ZFZF_ZSH_BINDING ^[. (Alt-.)
Sets the keybinding sequence used to trigger zfzf. If set to the empty
string, zfzf will not be bound. You can create a keybinding yourself by
binding to the zfzf zle widget. See zshzle(1) for more information on key
bindings.

ZFZF_ENABLE_BAT 2
ZFZF_ENABLE_EXA 2
These options control zfzf's use of non-standard programs. Valid values
include:
- 0: Disable program
- 1: Enable program (Force)
- 2: Enable program (Optional)
If the value 2 is used, the program will be enabled only if it is found in
the PATH or if its path is explicitly specified as described below.

ZFZF_BAT_PATH None
ZFZF_EXA_PATH None
These options allow paths to non-standard programs to be manually
specified.

Default Key Bindings

return accept final
alt-return accept final (return absolute path)
esc escape
ctrl-g escape (return absolute path)
alt-o accept query
ctrl-d accept query final
alt-P append query
ctrl-o replace query
alt-i descend into directory or accept file
alt-. descend into directory or accept file
alt-u ascend into parent directory
alt-> ascend into parent directory
alt-U ascend to next existing ancestor
