Or you could have just typed find / -name nginx.conf
Maybe an extra 2>/dev/null if you dont want to do it from sudo
I love fuzzy shell history. Game changer in terms of shell productivity. I use atuin[0] instead of fzf as I find the experience a bit nicer and it has history backups built in (disclaimer, I am a maintainer) Some of our users still prefer fzf because they are used to how it fuzzy finds, but we're running an experiment with skim[1] which allows us to embed the fuzzy engine without much overhead - hopefully giving them…
Other uses for fzf: - Combine it with autojump[1] and quickly navigate to any directory you've navigated to before (sorted by frequency). This is crazy helpful. - Use it for git branch names - Use it for ssh locations [1] https://github.com/wting/autojump

I also had a rather noticeable delay when launching atuin. As it turns out, this was because it checked for an update every time it launched! You can disable that update check: add a ` update_check = false` to your `~/.config/atuin/config.toml` [1]. That made the delay pretty much disappear for me.

We actually fixed the delay issue, but since you disabled update checking you wouldn't have known to update! It was quite annoying so we're sorry for that

How would you compare this to, say, McFly? https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
* We use heuristic based searches whereas mcfly trains a neural network * We offer a sync functionality to share history on multiple machines
mcfly is a great project, although they are looking for new maintainers apparently!

how do I use it with autojump?
You have to parse it to extract the directories without all the metadata it spits out.
Then you probably need to write a shell function in your preferred shell to tie the pieces together, as well as assign it to a keybinding. It's not too hard.
I use xonsh for my shell, so my config probably won't help. And doing it in xonsh is probably a lot messier than doing it in Bash.
