.TH fzf 1 "Jul 2024" "fzf 0.54.3" "fzf - a command-line fuzzy finder"

.SH NAME
fzf - a command-line fuzzy finder

.SH SYNOPSIS
fzf [options]

.SH DESCRIPTION
fzf is an interactive filter program for any kind of list.

It implements a "fuzzy" matching algorithm, so you can quickly type in patterns
with omitted characters and still get the results you want.

.SH OPTIONS
.SS Note
.TP
Most long options have the opposite version with \fB\-\-no\-\fR prefix.

.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, \-\-ignore\-case"
Case-insensitive match (default: smart-case match)
.TP
.B "+i, \-\-no\-ignore\-case"
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.

.RS
.B default
.RS
Generic scoring scheme designed to work well with any type of input.
.RE
.RE

.RS
.B path
.RS
Additional bonus point is only given to the characters after path separator.
You might want to choose this scheme over \fBdefault\fR if you have many files
with spaces in their paths.
.RE
.RE

.RS
.B history
.RS
Scoring scheme well suited for command history or any input where chronological
ordering is important. No additional bonus points are given so that we give
more weight to the chronological ordering. This also sets
\fB\-\-tiebreak=index\fR.
.RE
.RE

.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. When you use this option with
\fB\-\-with\-nth\fR, the field index expressions are calculated against the
transformed lines (unlike in \fB\-\-preview\fR where fields are extracted from
the original lines) because fzf doesn't allow searching against the hidden
fields.
.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, \fB\-\-with\-nth\fR, and field index
expressions (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 "\-\-tail=NUM"
Maximum number of items to keep in memory. This is useful when you want to
browse an endless stream of data (e.g. log stream) with fzf while limiting
memory usage.
.RS
e.g.
     \fB# Interactive filtering of a log stream
     tail \-f *.log | fzf \-\-tail 100000 \-\-tac \-\-no\-sort \-\-exact\fR
.RE
.TP
.B "\-\-track"
Make fzf track the current selection when the result list is updated.
This can be useful when browsing logs using fzf with sorting disabled. It is
not recommended to use this option with \fB\-\-tac\fR as the resulting behavior
can be confusing. Also, consider using \fBtrack\fR action instead of this
option.

.RS
e.g.
     \fBgit log \-\-oneline \-\-graph \-\-color=always | nl |
         fzf \-\-ansi \-\-track \-\-no\-sort \-\-layout=reverse\-list\fR
.RE
.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

the bottom (default: 3).
.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.
.TP
.B "\-\-filepath\-word"
Make word-wise movements and actions respect path separators. The following
actions are affected:

\fBbackward\-kill\-word\fR
.br
\fBbackward\-word\fR
.br
\fBforward\-word\fR
.br
\fBkill\-word\fR
.TP
.BI "\-\-jump\-labels=" "CHARS"
Label characters for \fBjump\fR mode.
.SS Layout
.TP
.BI "\-\-height=" "[~]HEIGHT[%]"
Display fzf window below the cursor with the given height instead of using
the full screen.

If a negative value is specified, the height is calculated as the terminal
height minus the given value.

  fzf \-\-height=\-1

When prefixed with \fB~\fR, fzf will automatically determine the height in the
range according to the input size.

  # Will not take up 100% of the screen
  seq 5 | fzf \-\-height=~100%

Adaptive height has the following limitations:
.br
* Cannot be used with top/bottom margin and padding given in percent size
.br
* Negative value is not allowed
.br
* It will not find the right size when there are multi-line items

.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 "\-\-tmux" "[=[center|top|bottom|left|right][,SIZE[%]][,SIZE[%]]]"
Start fzf in a tmux popup (default \fBcenter,50%\fR). Requires tmux 3.3 or
later. This option is ignored if you are not running fzf inside tmux.

e.g.
  \fB# Popup in the center with 70% width and height
  fzf \-\-tmux 70%

  # Popup on the left with 40% width and 100% height
  fzf \-\-tmux right,40%

  # Popup on the bottom with 100% width and 30% height
  fzf \-\-tmux bottom,30%

  # Popup on the top with 80% width and 40% height
  fzf \-\-tmux top,80%,40%\fR

.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"
.br
.BR reverse\-list "  Display from the top of the screen, prompt at the bottom"
.br

.TP
.B "\-\-reverse"
A synonym for \fB\-\-layout=reverse\fB

.TP
.BI "\-\-border" [=BORDER_OPT]
Draw border around the finder

.br
.BR rounded "       Border with rounded corners (default)"
.br
.BR sharp "         Border with sharp corners"

.br
.BR top " (up)"
.br
.BR bottom " (down)"
.br
.BR left
.br
.BR right
.br
.BR none
.br

If you use a terminal emulator where each box-drawing character takes
2 columns, try setting \fB\-\-ambidouble\fR. If the border is still not properly
rendered, set \fB\-\-no\-unicode\fR.

.TP
.BI "\-\-border\-label" [=LABEL]
Label to print on the horizontal border line. Should be used with one of the
following \fB\-\-border\fR options.

.br

  fzf \-\-height=10 \-\-border \-\-border\-label="╢ $label ╟" \-\-border\-label\-pos=\-3:bottom \-\-color=label:italic:black\fR

.TP
.BI "\-\-border\-label\-pos" [=N[:top|bottom]]
Position of the border label on the border line. Specify a positive integer as
the column position from the left. Specify a negative integer to right-align
the label. Label is printed on the top border line by default, add
\fB:bottom\fR to put it on the border line on the bottom. The default value
\fB0 (or \fBcenter\fR) will put the label at the center of the border line.

.TP
.B "\-\-no\-unicode"
Use ASCII characters instead of Unicode drawing characters to draw borders,
the spinner and the horizontal separator.

.TP
.B "\-\-ambidouble"
Set this option if your terminal displays ambiguous width characters (e.g.
box-drawing characters for borders) as 2 columns.

.SS History
.TP
.BI "\-\-history=" "HISTORY_FILE"
Load search history from the specified file and update the file on completion.
When enabled, \fBCTRL\-N\fR and \fBCTRL\-P\fR are automatically remapped to
\fBnext\-history\fR and \fBprev\-history\fR.
.TP
.BI "\-\-history\-size=" "N"
Maximum number of entries in the history file (default: 1000). The file is
automatically truncated when the number of the lines exceeds the value.
.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.)

fzf also exports \fB$FZF_PREVIEW_TOP\fR and \fB$FZF_PREVIEW_LEFT\fR so that
the preview command can determine the position of the preview window.

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.

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 \\

Also,

* \fB{q}\fR is replaced to the current query string
.br
* \fB{n}\fR is replaced to the zero-based ordinal index of the current item.
  Use \fB{+n}\fR if you want all index numbers when multiple lines are selected.
.br

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
or \fB{q}\fR is in the command template.

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
      done'\fR

fzf has experimental support for Kitty graphics protocol and Sixel graphics.
The following example uses https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/bin/fzf\-preview.sh
script to render an image using either of the protocols inside the preview window.

e.g.
      \fBfzf \-\-preview='fzf\-preview.sh {}'\fR

\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.

.br
.BR FZF_PREVIEW_LINES "   Number of lines in the preview window"
.br
.BR FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS " Number of columns in the preview window"

.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
expression is \fBKEY:ACTION\fR or \fBEVENT:ACTION\fR.

.SS ACTION COMPOSITION

Multiple actions can be chained using \fB+\fR separator.

e.g.
     \fBfzf \-\-multi \-\-bind 'ctrl\-a:select\-all+accept'\fR
     \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
    \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.

\fBbecome(...)\fR action is similar to \fBexecute(...)\fR, but it replaces the
current fzf process with the specified command using \fBexecve(2)\fR system
call.

    \fBfzf \-\-bind "enter:become(vim {})"\fR

.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.
     \fB# Update the list of processes by pressing CTRL\-R
     ps \-ef | fzf \-\-bind 'ctrl\-r:reload(ps \-ef)' \-\-header 'Press CTRL\-R to reload' \\
                  \-\-header\-lines=1 \-\-layout=reverse

     # Integration with ripgrep
     RG_PREFIX="rg \-\-column \-\-line\-number \-\-no\-heading \-\-color=always \-\-smart\-case "
     INITIAL_QUERY="foobar"
     FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="$RG_PREFIX '$INITIAL_QUERY'" \\
       fzf \-\-bind "change:reload:$RG_PREFIX {q} || true" \\
           \-\-ansi \-\-disabled \-\-query "$INITIAL_QUERY"\fR

\fBreload\-sync(...)\fR is a synchronous version of \fBreload\fR that replaces
the list only when the command is complete. This is useful when the command
takes a while to produce the initial output and you don't want fzf to run
against an empty list while the command is running.


e.g.
     \fB# You can still filter and select entries from the initial list for 3 seconds
     seq 100 | fzf \-\-bind 'load:reload\-sync(sleep 3; seq 1000)+unbind(load)'\fR

.SS TRANSFORM ACTIONS

Actions with \fBtransform\-\fR prefix are used to transform the states of fzf
using the output of an external command. The output of these commands are
expected to be a single line of text.

e.g.
    \fBfzf \-\-bind 'focus:transform\-header:file \-\-brief {}'\fR

\fBtransform(...)\fR action runs an external command that should print a series
of actions to be performed. The output should be in the same format as the
payload of HTTP POST request to the \fB\-\-listen\fR server.

e.g.
    \fB# Disallow selecting an empty line
    echo \-e "1. Hello\\n2. Goodbye\\n\\n3. Exit" |
      fzf \-\-height '~100%' \-\-reverse \-\-header 'Select one' \\
          \-\-bind 'enter:transform:[[ \-n {} ]] &&
                    echo accept ||
                    echo "change\-header:Invalid selection"'
    \fR

.SS PREVIEW BINDING

With \fBpreview(...)\fR action, you can specify multiple different preview
commands in addition to the default preview command given by \fB\-\-preview\fR
option.

e.g.
     # Default preview command with an extra preview binding
     fzf \-\-preview 'file {}' \-\-bind '?:preview:cat {}'

     # A preview binding with no default preview command
     # (Preview window is initially empty)
     fzf \-\-bind '?:preview:cat {}'

     # Preview window hidden by default, it appears when you first hit '?'
     fzf \-\-bind '?:preview:cat {}' \-\-preview\-window hidden

.SS CHANGE PREVIEW WINDOW ATTRIBUTES

\fBchange\-preview\-window\fR action can be used to change the properties of the
preview window. Unlike the \fB\-\-preview\-window\fR option, you can specify
multiple sets of options separated by '|' characters.

e.g.
     # Rotate through the options using CTRL\-/
     fzf \-\-preview 'cat {}' \-\-bind 'ctrl\-/:change\-preview\-window(right,70%|down,40%,border\-horizontal|hidden|right)'

     # The default properties given by `\-\-preview\-window` are inherited, so an empty string in the list is interpreted as the default
     fzf \-\-preview 'cat {}' \-\-preview\-window 'right,40%,border\-left' \-\-bind 'ctrl\-/:change\-preview\-window(70%|down,border\-top|hidden|)'

     # This is equivalent to toggle\-preview action
     fzf \-\-preview 'cat {}' \-\-bind 'ctrl\-/:change\-preview\-window(hidden|)'
