Better handling suggestions on bash
This plugin adds binding suggestions to bash in such that it can keep the starting text and/or replace it with a query.
Just copy .suggestions.sh
to your home directory and add [ -f ~/.suggestions.sh ] && source ~/.suggestions.sh
to your .bashrc
after the line [ -f ~/.fzf.bash ] && source ~/.fzf.bash
(because this pluggin overrides fzf
's Ctrl-r
default begavior).
After writing some text you can press Ctrl-r
or arrow up
. This will open fzf
suggestion's box.
The first thing to notice is that fzf
will start the box with the text that you was writting.
Now three things can happen:
- press
Esc
(to cancel the search): in this case the suggestion box is closed and you get your initial text back on the terminal - select and item from the suggestion box: the item replace your initial text
- write something that do not exists in the suggestion box but press
Enter
: the whole text you wrote replace the initial one
