Add fzf-powered ctrl+r to ipython. It's nice.

![demo](./demo.gif)

## Installation

You must have fzf installed for this to work:

```bash

# macos

brew install fzf

# linux

apt-get install fzf

```

I'd also recommend installing [bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) for syntax highlighting. It's detected and an advanced preview is shown when available.

Then, install the extension:

```bash

pip install ipython-ctrlr-fzf

```

And in ipython, load the extension:

```shell

%load_ext ipython_ctrlr_fzf

```

Alternatively, you can add the output of the following to your `ipython_config.py`:

```shell

python -m ipython_ctrlr_fzf

```

## TODO

- [ ] understand when prompt toolkit is not used in ipython
