It literally looks like a clone of fzf or sk complete with prompt and file previews. The fact that ithe article doesn’t event reference the prior art is deeply concerning.

Eh, tried it. Doesn’t seem to support regex or even wildcard matching, which is… suboptimal. The preview window also often fails to show the content of the current file correctly.

I’m with the others: fd default syntax is easier to remember.

And for the interactive search I’m using skim. With it I cd to the dir I want and Alt t to trigger fuzzy finding. There are also bindings to search for dir or in the history. The neat part is that results are inserted as is in the command line, no need to xargs or copy them. It also make the history look like I always know where the files I want are when in reality they are just fuzzy-found

So many linux posts seem to be new people getting frustrated at their lack of knowledge and trying to reinvent something that already exists. I’m looking at this thinking, why didn’t they just use locate and fzf?

Sounds fantastic, but unfortunately none of the instructions for Debian-based, or the pre-compiled binary, or the building from source worked.
