Layperson question: how does this differ from, say, piping something to fzf; and what advantages does it have over that?

Layperson question: how does this differ from, say, piping something to fzf; and what advantages does it have over that?
- xlii 10mo agoGood question - main thing is that it's saving time on repeatable searches and optimize search. I was working with Elixir without ability to use LSP and so, my flow often looked like this: > rg "defp|def\b|def_rule|def_helper" . | rg "something" Only to find that someone made a "def_instruction" and it's there. I didn't want to filter our, I just wanted to... sort. With config file I can do a simple > rg "something" | ssort ~/ssort/elixir_methods > # or if I use it often > alias ssort-elixirm "ssort ~/ssort/elixir_methods" > rg "something | ssort-elixirm This can be solved by working LSP though, what working LSP can't solve though is: > rg "impl" | ssort-elixirm | ssort -f MyCompany But (given as it looks like it was buried) it's a microoptimization for CLI search freaks ;)
