I love fzf but somehow I can never find a way to naturally make it a part of my workflow.

  The zag ctrl-r integration for fuzzy searching terminal history is amazing. Also you can do * and hit tab and use fzf to grab a file to use as a command line argument. Fzf is wonderful.

  My biggest tip is to use the '**' shortcut from bash/zsh. My most frequent use case is for running tests, I can type: $ be rspec spec/**{tab} Fzf will open inline, select the file(s) you want and run them (like this https://asciinema.org/a/mYTmT908gvVxZTMAsfPxltULx https://asciinema.org/a/mYTmT908gvVxZTMAsfPxltULx) To get this to work I had to add this line to my .zshrc source /usr/share/zsh/site-functions/fzf

    If you don't have the globstar optional behavior enabled in bash this won't work. From the manual: If set, the pattern ‘*’ used in a filename expansion context will match all files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. If the pattern is followed by a ‘/’, only directories and subdirectories match. To enable: $ shopt -s globstar To disable: $ shopt -u globstar
