.TH fzf 1 "Aug 2022" "fzf 0.33.0" "fzf - a command-line fuzzy finder"
.SH NAME
fzf - a command-line fuzzy finder
.SH SYNOPSIS
fzf [options]
.SH DESCRIPTION
fzf is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder.
.SH OPTIONS
.SS Search mode
.TP
.B "-x, --extended"
Extended-search mode. Since 0.10.9, this is enabled by default. You can disable
it with \fB+x\fR or \fB--no-extended\fR.
.TP
.B "-e, --exact"
Enable exact-match
.TP
.B "-i"
Case-insensitive match (default: smart-case match)
.TP
.B "+i"
Case-sensitive match
.TP
.B "--literal"
Do not normalize latin script letters for matching.
.TP
.BI "--scheme=" SCHEME
Choose scoring scheme tailored for different types of input.
.br
.BR default " Generic scoring scheme designed to work well with any type of input"
.br
.BR path " Scoring scheme for paths (additional bonus point only after path separator)
.br
.BR history " Scoring scheme for command history (no additional bonus points).
Sets \fB--tiebreak=index\fR as well.
.br
.TP
.BI "--algo=" TYPE
Fuzzy matching algorithm (default: v2)
.br
.BR v2 " Optimal scoring algorithm (quality)"
.br
.BR v1 " Faster but not guaranteed to find the optimal result (performance)"
.br
.TP
.BI "-n, --nth=" "N[,..]"
Comma-separated list of field index expressions for limiting search scope.
See \fBFIELD INDEX EXPRESSION\fR for the details.
.TP
.BI "--with-nth=" "N[,..]"
Transform the presentation of each line using field index expressions
.TP
.BI "-d, --delimiter=" "STR"
Field delimiter regex for \fB--nth\fR and \fB--with-nth\fR (default: AWK-style)
.TP
.BI "--disabled"
Do not perform search. With this option, fzf becomes a simple selector
interface rather than a "fuzzy finder". You can later enable the search using
\fBenable-search\fR or \fBtoggle-search\fR action.
.SS Search result
.TP
.B "+s, --no-sort"
Do not sort the result
.TP
.B "--tac"
Reverse the order of the input
.RS
e.g.
\fBhistory | fzf --tac --no-sort\fR
.RE
.TP
.BI "--tiebreak=" "CRI[,..]"
Comma-separated list of sort criteria to apply when the scores are tied.
.br
.br
.BR length " Prefers line with shorter length"
.br
.BR chunk " Prefers line with shorter matched chunk (delimited by whitespaces)"
.br
.BR begin " Prefers line with matched substring closer to the beginning"
.br
.BR end " Prefers line with matched substring closer to the end"
.br
.BR index " Prefers line that appeared earlier in the input stream"
.br
.br
- Each criterion should appear only once in the list
.br
- \fBindex\fR is only allowed at the end of the list
.br
- \fBindex\fR is implicitly appended to the list when not specified
.br
- Default is \fBlength\fR (or equivalently \fBlength\fR,index)
.br
- If \fBend\fR is found in the list, fzf will scan each line backwards
.SS Interface
.TP
.B "-m, --multi"
Enable multi-select with tab/shift-tab. It optionally takes an integer argument
which denotes the maximum number of items that can be selected.
.TP
.B "+m, --no-multi"
Disable multi-select
.TP
.B "--no-mouse"
Disable mouse
.TP
.BI "--bind=" "KEYBINDS"
Comma-separated list of custom key bindings. See \fBKEY/EVENT BINDINGS\fR for
the details.
.TP
.B "--cycle"
Enable cyclic scroll
.TP
.B "--keep-right"
Keep the right end of the line visible when it's too long. Effective only when
the query string is empty.
.TP
.BI "--scroll-off=" "LINES"
Number of screen lines to keep above or below when scrolling to the top or to
the bottom (default: 0).
.TP
.B "--no-hscroll"
Disable horizontal scroll
.TP
.BI "--hscroll-off=" "COLS"
Number of screen columns to keep to the right of the highlighted substring
(default: 10). Setting it to a large value will cause the text to be positioned
on the center of the screen.

\fBforward-word\fR
.br
\fBkill-word\fR
.TP
.BI "--jump-labels=" "CHARS"
Label characters for \fBjump\fR and \fBjump-accept\fR
.SS Layout
.TP
.BI "--height=" "HEIGHT[%]"
Display fzf window below the cursor with the given height instead of using
the full screen.
.TP
.BI "--min-height=" "HEIGHT"
Minimum height when \fB--height\fR is given in percent (default: 10).
Ignored when \fB--height\fR is not specified.
.TP
.BI "--layout=" "LAYOUT"
Choose the layout (default: default)
.br
.BR default " Display from the bottom of the screen"
.br
.BR reverse " Display from the top of the screen"

.SS Preview
.TP
.BI "--preview=" "COMMAND"
Execute the given command for the current line and display the result on the
preview window. \fB{}\fR in the command is the placeholder that is replaced to
the single-quoted string of the current line. To transform the replacement
string, specify field index expressions between the braces (See \fBFIELD INDEX
EXPRESSION\fR for the details).
.RS
e.g.
\fBfzf --preview='head -$LINES {}'
ls -l | fzf --preview="echo user={3} when={-4..-2}; cat {-1}" --header-lines=1\fR
fzf exports \fB$FZF_PREVIEW_LINES\fR and \fB$FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS\fR so that
they represent the exact size of the preview window. (It also overrides
\fB$LINES\fR and \fB$COLUMNS\fR with the same values but they can be reset
by the default shell, so prefer to refer to the ones with \fBFZF_PREVIEW_\fR
prefix.)
A placeholder expression starting with \fB+\fR flag will be replaced to the
space-separated list of the selected lines (or the current line if no selection
was made) individually quoted.
e.g.
\fBfzf --multi --preview='head -10 {+}'
git log --oneline | fzf --multi --preview 'git show {+1}'\fR
When using a field index expression, leading and trailing whitespace is stripped
from the replacement string. To preserve the whitespace, use the \fBs\fR flag.
Also, \fB{q}\fR is replaced to the current query string, and \fB{n}\fR is
replaced to zero-based ordinal index of the line. Use \fB{+n}\fR if you want
all index numbers when multiple lines are selected.
A placeholder expression with \fBf\fR flag is replaced to the path of
a temporary file that holds the evaluated list. This is useful when you
multi-select a large number of items and the length of the evaluated string may
exceed \fBARG_MAX\fR.
e.g.
\fB# Press CTRL-A to select 100K items and see the sum of all the numbers.
# This won't work properly without 'f' flag due to ARG_MAX limit.
seq 100000 | fzf --multi --bind ctrl-a:select-all \\
--preview "awk '{sum+=\\$1} END {print sum}' {+f}"\fR
Note that you can escape a placeholder pattern by prepending a backslash.
Preview window will be updated even when there is no match for the current
query if any of the placeholder expressions evaluates to a non-empty string.
Since 0.24.0, fzf can render partial preview content before the preview command
completes. ANSI escape sequence for clearing the display (\fBCSI 2 J\fR) is
supported, so you can use it to implement preview window that is constantly
updating.
e.g.
\fBfzf --preview 'for i in $(seq 100000); do
(( i % 200 == 0 )) && printf "\\033[2J"
echo "$i"
sleep 0.01

\fBborder-sharp\fR (border with sharp edges), \fBborder-left\fR,
\fBborder-none\fR, etc.
* \fB[:+SCROLL[OFFSETS][/DENOM]]\fR determines the initial scroll offset of the
preview window.
- \fBSCROLL\fR can be either a numeric integer or a single-field index expression that refers to a numeric integer.
- The optional \fBOFFSETS\fR part is for adjusting the base offset. It should be given as a series of signed integers (\fB-INTEGER\fR or \fB+INTEGER\fR).
- The final \fB/DENOM\fR part is for specifying a fraction of the preview window height.
* \fB~HEADER_LINES\fR keeps the top N lines as the fixed header so that they
are always visible.

.SH EXTENDED SEARCH MODE
Unless specified otherwise, fzf will start in "extended-search mode". In this
mode, you can specify multiple patterns delimited by spaces, such as: \fB'wild
^music .mp3$ sbtrkt !rmx\fR
You can prepend a backslash to a space (\fB\\ \fR) to match a literal space
character.
.SS Exact-match (quoted)
A term that is prefixed by a single-quote character (\fB'\fR) is interpreted as
an "exact-match" (or "non-fuzzy") term. fzf will search for the exact
occurrences of the string.
.SS Anchored-match
A term can be prefixed by \fB^\fR, or suffixed by \fB$\fR to become an
anchored-match term. Then fzf will search for the lines that start with or end
with the given string. An anchored-match term is also an exact-match term.
.SS Negation
If a term is prefixed by \fB!\fR, fzf will exclude the lines that satisfy the
term from the result. In this case, fzf performs exact match by default.
.SS Exact-match by default
If you don't prefer fuzzy matching and do not wish to "quote" (prefixing with
\fB'\fR) every word, start fzf with \fB-e\fR or \fB--exact\fR option. Note that
when \fB--exact\fR is set, \fB'\fR-prefix "unquotes" the term.
.SS OR operator
A single bar character term acts as an OR operator. For example, the following
query matches entries that start with \fBcore\fR and end with either \fBgo\fR,
\fBrb\fR, or \fBpy\fR.
e.g. \fB^core go$ | rb$ | py$\fR
.SH KEY/EVENT BINDINGS
\fB--bind\fR option allows you to bind \fBa key\fR or \fBan event\fR to one or
more \fBactions\fR. You can use it to customize key bindings or implement
dynamic behaviors.
\fB--bind\fR takes a comma-separated list of binding expressions. Each binding

\fBfzf --multi --bind 'ctrl-a:select-all' --bind 'ctrl-a:+accept'\fR
.SS ACTION ARGUMENT
An action denoted with \fB(...)\fR suffix takes an argument.
e.g.
\fBfzf --bind 'ctrl-a:change-prompt(NewPrompt> )'\fR
\fBfzf --bind 'ctrl-v:preview(cat {})' --preview-window hidden\fR
If the argument contains parentheses, fzf may fail to parse the expression. In
that case, you can use any of the following alternative notations to avoid
parse errors.
\fBaction-name[...]\fR
\fBaction-name~...~\fR
\fBaction-name!...!\fR
\fBaction-name@...@\fR
\fBaction-name#...#\fR
\fBaction-name$...$\fR
\fBaction-name%...%\fR
\fBaction-name^...^\fR

\fBaction-name*...*\fR
\fBaction-name;...;\fR
\fBaction-name/.../\fR
\fBaction-name|...|\fR
\fBaction-name:...\fR
.RS
The last one is the special form that frees you from parse errors as it does
not expect the closing character. The catch is that it should be the last one
in the comma-separated list of key-action pairs.
.RE
.SS COMMAND EXECUTION
With \fBexecute(...)\fR action, you can execute arbitrary commands without
leaving fzf. For example, you can turn fzf into a simple file browser by
binding \fBenter\fR key to \fBless\fR command like follows.
\fBfzf --bind "enter:execute(less {})"\fR
You can use the same placeholder expressions as in \fB--preview\fR.
fzf switches to the alternate screen when executing a command. However, if the
command is expected to complete quickly, and you are not interested in its
output, you might want to use \fBexecute-silent\fR instead, which silently
executes the command without the switching. Note that fzf will not be
responsive until the command is complete. For asynchronous execution, start
your command as a background process (i.e. appending \fB&\fR).
On *nix systems, fzf runs the command with \fB$SHELL -c\fR if \fBSHELL\fR is
set, otherwise with \fBsh -c\fR, so in this case make sure that the command is
POSIX-compliant.
.SS RELOAD INPUT
\fBreload(...)\fR action is used to dynamically update the input list
without restarting fzf. It takes the same command template with placeholder
expressions as \fBexecute(...)\fR.
See \fIhttps://github.com/junegunn/fzf/issues/1750\fR for more info.
e.g.
