* Package name : fzf Version : 0.16.6 Upstream Author : Junegunn Choi <junegun...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/junegunn/fzf * License : MIT Programming Lang: Golang Description : command-line fuzzy finder I use this as my shell's reverse-i-search. It brings up an ncurses interface in which to do fuzzy searching across my shell history. For example, suppose I know the following is in my history, but I cannot remember it: echo | openssl s_client -msg -connect nm.debian.org:443 -servername nm.debian.org 2>&1 | grep CertificateRequest With fzf, I press ^r, and am presented with an ncurses interface where I can then type something like "openssl nm CertReq" to quickly filter my entire history to just a few relevant entries, all while receiving visual feedback of the filtering process. It comes with plugins for bash, zsh, fish, vim. Since fzf is written in Go, I will apply for collaborative maintenance with the Go Team, and seek a mentor within that team to get this to Debian quality and uploaded. I have started packaging at https://github.com/tomfitzhenry/pkg-fzf and will move to the Go Team's Alioth repository if appropriate. Regards, Tom Fitzhenry
