skim (fuzzy finder) integration into xonsh (shell)


Sets up keybinds to search various type of data: dirs/files, history of commands/CWDs/dirs, ssh hosts...

## Install

```xsh
xpip install -U xontrib-skim
# or: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/eugenesvk/xontrib-skim
```

## Use

Supported data sources:

- xonsh history of commands (and their frequency)
- xonsh history of commands' CWDs (and the frequency of commands started here)
- zoxide's history of dirs

CWDs/dirs support multi-selection (with proper escape-quoting) as well as `cd`-ing to the selected dir in-place
- files in the current directory and its sub-directories
- dirs in the current directory and its sub-directories
- ssh hosts from `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`, `~/.ssh/config`, `~/.ssh/known_hosts`

This xontrib requires `sk` (or `sk-tmux`) to be in `PATH`. If it's added to `PATH` via another xontrib (e.g, you installed it via Homebrew and use `xontrib-homebrew`), then you should load this xontrib after the one setting `PATH`

1. Add the following to your `.py` xontrib loading config and `import` it in your xonsh run control file (`~/.xonshrc` or `~/.config/rc.xsh`):
```py
from xonsh.xontribs import xontribs_load
from xonsh.built_ins import XSH
envx = XSH.env

xontribs = [ "skim", # Initializes skim (Fuzzy Finder)
# your other xontribs
]
# ↓ optional configuration variables (use `False` to disable a keybind)
if 'skim' in xontribs: # Configure skim only if you're actually loading it
#Config var Value ≝Default ¦Alt_cmd Comment
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_HIST" ] = "⎈ s" #≝c-s ¦False Search in xonsh 's history entries and ⎀insert the chosen command
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_HIST_CWD→"] = " ⎇s" #≝['escape','s'] ¦False Search in xonsh 's history entries' CWD and →CD to the selected item (if exists, do nothing otherwise)
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_HIST_CWD" ] = "⎈⎇s" #≝['escape','c-s']¦False Search in xonsh 's history entries' CWD and ⎀insert the selected item(s)
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_HIST_Z→" ] = " ⎇z" #≝['escape','z'] ¦False Search in zoxide's history entries and →CD to the selected item (if exists, do nothing otherwise)
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_HIST_Z" ] = "⎈⎇z" #≝['escape','c-z']¦False Search in zoxide's history entries and ⎀insert the selected item(s)
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_FILE" ] = "⎈ f" #≝c-f ¦False Find files in the current directory and its sub-directories
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_DIR" ] = " ⎇f" #≝['escape','f'] ¦False Find dirs in the current directory and its sub-directories
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_SSH" ] = "⎈ b" #≝c-b ¦False Run 'ssh HOST' for hosts in /etc/ssh/ssh_config, ~/.ssh/config, ~/.ssh/known_hosts

# run to see the allowed list for ↑: from prompt_toolkit.keys import ALL_KEYS; print(ALL_KEYS)
# Alt is also supported as either of: a- ⎇ ⌥ (converted to a prefix 'escape')
# Control symbols are also supported as either of: ⎈ ⌃
# ↓ are key bindings for the skim binary itself, not this xontrib, so use skim rules https://github.com/lotabout/skim#keymap
#Config var Value ≝Default¦Alt_cmd Comment
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_SORT_TOGGLE" ] = "ctrl-r" #≝ctrl-r ¦False ⎈R binding for 'toggle-sort'
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_CUSTOM" ] = None #≝None ¦{'key':'action'}
envx["X_SKIM_NO_HEIGHT" ] = True #≝True ¦False disable `--height` to fix a skim bug
envx["X_SKIM_NO_SORT" ] = True #≝True ¦False disable history sorting
envx["X_SKIM_CMD_FRQ" ] = True #≝True ¦False add ∑command runs for a given command
envx["X_SKIM_CMD_FRQ_MIN" ] = 5 #≝5 ¦ hide frequency numbers below this
envx["X_SKIM_CWD_FRQ" ] = True #≝True ¦False add ∑command runs at a given CWD
envx["X_SKIM_CWD_FRQ_MIN" ] = 5 #≝5 ¦ hide frequency numbers below this
envx["X_SKIM_CMD_FIND" ] = "fd -t f -t l" #≝None command used by skim to search for files
envx["X_SKIM_CMD_FIND_DIR" ] = "fd -t d " #≝None command used by skim to search for directories
envx["X_SKIM_DIR_VIEW" ] = "ls -F --color=always {2..}" #≝None preview function for Dir lists
envx["SKIM_DEFAULT_OPTIONS" ] = "--ansi --preview-window=right:40%:wrap" #≝None other options to pass to skim

xontribs_load(xontribs) # actually load all xontribs in the list
```

2. Or just add this to your xonsh run control file
```xsh
xontrib load skim # Initializes skim (fuzzy finder)
# configure like in the example above, but replace envx['VAR'] with $VAR
$X_SKIM_KEY_HISTORY = "c-s" # ...
```

## Examples

- `cd` to a path in-place without losing the command you've already typed in the prompt!

1. Press s (for command history CWD's) or z (for zoxide's history) to launch fuzzy finder of your favorite dirs

![cd inplace 1](<./doc/img/cd inplace 1.png>)

2. Find the correct dir and insert it

![cd inplace 2](<./doc/img/cd inplace 2.png>)

3. The prompt is updated in the background, reflecting the dir change and preserving the command

![cd inplace 3](<./doc/img/cd inplace 3.png>)

- Find fils/dirs in xonsh-completed paths: type `cd ~/Mus`; hit F to limit your file search to `~/Music`

- Find files with F and dirs with F
```py
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_FILE"] = "⎇f"
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_DIR"] = "⎈f"
```

- Insert multiple paths with home row cursor keys

J to toggle and ▼

K to toggle and ▲
```py
envx["X_SKIM_KEY_CUSTOM"] = {
'alt-j':'toggle+down' ,
'alt-k':'toggle+up' }
```

## Known issues

- skim doesn't clear the screen properly when `--height` is set due to a [bug](https://github.com/lotabout/skim/issues/494). At the moment this flag is disabled via `X_SKIM_NO_HEIGHT`
- skim sometimes prints extraneous text symbols, e.g., when searching history, maybe due to [this bug](https://github.com/lotabout/skim/issues/502) or something else
- skim might bug in tmux on some system/terminals [bug1](https://github.com/lotabout/skim/issues/482), [bug2](https://github.com/lotabout/skim/issues/412)
- `toggle-sort` (and `X_SKIM_KEY_SORT_TOGGLE`) doesn't seem to be supported in skim, `ls | sk --bind=pgdn:toggle-sort` also fails
- to remove extra `?[38;5;26mFOLDER` from output, add `--ansi` to `$SKIM_DEFAULT_OPTIONS` or disable colors in your `$X_SKIM_CMD_FIND`/`DIR` filter (e.g., `fd -t d -c never`)
- /f conflict with [xontrib-output-search](https://github.com/anki-code/xontrib-output-search)'s defaults
