Basically, prefix any jq command (or rg, or anything you can think of) with fzr and it'll give you an interactive interpreter for your query. People have written a number of dedicated jq interactive repls, but not much is needed beyond fzf.
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.

You open Total Commander in that folder, press Alt+F7, put your string into the lower search box and press search. It will give you the list of matching files, with F3 available for quick preview; then you right click the file you need and choose "Open with VS Code" from the context menu. Sadly, you don't get the "context" (the content of actual matches) out of the box, you'll have to resort to double-tapping F3 whil…
Thanks for this. I didn't know about the built-in-cd. For anyone on macOS trying to get Alt-C to work see https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/164 .
Apparently an option_as_alt option should also be introduced in the next release.
jump ( https://github.com/gsamokovarov/jump ) is something I use as I didn’t know about Alt-C. Highly recommended
Now combine the two: autojump and fzf. Basically look at all the directories in the jump database and pass that to fzf (sorted by frequency). You'll be amazed at what an improvement that is. I've bound it to Alt-j on my shell. I use it a ton more than Alt-c.
I’ve never used fzf before and live in a shell all day, but the capabilities shown in the article doesn’t seem very useful to me. Am I missing something? For Ctrl+R, how many times are people running similar variants of commands that they 1) don’t know what they typed and 2) didn’t think to simplify their workflow to not be running duplicated commands? For Alt+C, are peoples’ file and directory layouts such a mess th…
Likewise, if you get your directory layout rationalized, good tab completion and disambiguation feels like all you would need.

I use ctrl-r a lot, though I have no issue remembering exact portions of the commands, but that may just be me.
I'll give it another try.
In the same vein as ripgrep (rg), I recommand the author (and everybody else) to give fd-find (fd) a try as a replacement to find. It's much, much faster (multithreaded search), and has better defaults to use from the shell (doesn't complain about these permissions issues, and `fd abc` is equivalent to `find. -iname 'abc'`.
A few comments here mention it already, but I wanted to recommend it.
