fzy

A better fuzzy finder Created by John Hawthorn

Free Open Source
Mac
Linux
Vim

fzy is a fast, simple fuzzy text selector for the terminal with an advanced scoring algorithm.

fzy is faster and shows better results than other fuzzy finders.

Most other fuzzy matchers sort based on the length of a match. fzy tries to find the result the user intended. It does this by favouring matches on consecutive letters and starts of words. This allows matching using acronyms or different parts of the path. More Info »

fzy is designed to be used both as an editor plugin and on the command line. Rather than clearing the screen, fzy displays its interface directly below the current cursor position, scrolling the screen if necessary.
