You never use fzf? What a tough life in terminal then huh. It's not as useful to run it directly, but pretty much any shell has plugin for fzf support that let's you Ctrl+R to fuzzy search over bash_history (or fish_history or whatever) and Ctrl+T let's you fuzzy search files in current directory.


fish fuzzy matches on Ctrl+R, and on Tab, without fzf.


That's nice, but there's value in a fuzzy finder existing as a standalone tool.

Also if I had to guess, the type of person who criticizes tools like jq, fzf, and ripgrep and struggles to understand some people's need for benchmarking tools like hyperfine would likely disapprove of fish as well.


This was strictly in reply to the direct parent commenter, who mentioned fish_history and extolled fzf's shell integrations. I often use fzf for mini-TUIs, or pipe to it.

The OP list is significantly cheapened by the various ls alternatives.
