I've been seeing mentions of fzf for some time but this article might make it try it.

Zsh's H-S-MW plugin [1], which provides multi word CTRL+R to search the history + a couple of half-assed tools I wrote [2] seem to cover most of the think I would need fzf for, but maybe fzf would work better or be a useful addition to my toolset. Maybe it could replace those half-assed tools.

Of course I intensively use ripgrep.

So I might aswell ask here: I want to search for a string using ripgrep, select one of the files from the result list using FZF and then open the selected file with VS code.

> rg . | fzf

How do I do this on windows (NOT Linux)??

*Note:* Assume I already have ripgrep, FZF & VS Code installed.

The exact same command worked for me on Windows in PowerShell!

In fact, I went and tried the other shortcuts and they worked as well e.g. Alt+C

Didn't know about this all this while and I had fzf installed!
