About fzf-tab
fzf-tab changes what happens when you press Tab in Zsh and more than one completion matches. Instead of the built-in selection menu, the candidates open in fzf, so you can narrow them down by typing part of a name and pick one with fuzzy matching.
It installs manually or through plugin managers such as Antigen, Zinit, Oh-My-Zsh and Prezto. fzf must already be installed, and the plugin has to be loaded after compinit but before plugins that wrap widgets, such as zsh-autosuggestions. The README also covers tmux use and an optional binary module.
Strengths
- Fuzzy filtering of any Zsh completion list
- Works with common Zsh plugin managers
- Can be used with tmux
Limitations
- Zsh only
- Requires fzf to be installed separately
- Load order relative to other plugins matters
