.TH fzf 1 "Nov 2023" "fzf 0.44.1" "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 well suited for file paths
.br
.BR history " Scoring scheme well suited for command history or any input where chronological ordering is important
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 "--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 b
