fzf fizzy history search with ctrl-r is my favorite new shell trick. Fzf is a wonderful program

  fzf's great. I use it for a quick/easy git branch menu, complete with preview of recent history of each branch: https://pastebin.com/R91bP2qa https://pastebin.com/R91bP2qa

  I too prefer fizzy history. It's like Sodastream for your shell! Skim [0] is a nice alternative to fzf [1], mainly for the fact you can call additional commands dynamically like so [2]: sk --ansi -i -c 'rg --color=always --line-number "{}"' [0] https://github.com/lotabout/skim https://github.com/lotabout/skim [1] https://github.com/lotabout/skim#difference-to-fzf https://github.com/lotabout/skim#difference-to-fzf [2] https://github.com/lotabout/skim#interactive-mode https://github.com/lotabout/skim#interactive-mode

    Would that correspond to piping the output of the additional command to fzf?
