Post comment/reviewWhat is fzy?
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.
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.
