Extremely valuable tool that I use nearly every day. Also check out the vim plugin: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf.vim .

It’s great how scriptable it is. E.g. it’s relatively easy to use it with kubectl to to browse and inspect k8s resources.

Any command where you might be generating a long list of items you then want to select from can probably benefit from being piped into fzf.

This is one of the first things I install on a new machine after oh-my-zsh

I'm not trying to troll you or be annoying or get off my lawn kinda thing right, but seriously, what the fuck is the point of oh-my-zsh?

I still use ksh these days (actually, the openbsd version, even on linux) and it behaves EXACTLY the same way as a bash shell to the uninitiated (ctrl+r, fc -l, etc etc etc)..

I have some little shell functions that I use for things, like 'git_branch()' which I use with some aliases (I have >200 shell aliases)..

ZSH has a fucking ftp client in it right? And it still just behaves like bash? What does it do on top? Am I missing something? :}

You are asking the point of omz and saying ksh has the same features as zsh

omz is a tool for zsh users, that is its purpose in life

Zsh has a lot more features than ksh, the functionality ksh has is the lower bound if it works for you great

If you enjoy DIY writing 200 aliases great, zsh like bash is more than path autocomplete and aliases it’s a lot more
