Fuzzy finder (fzf) missing

[traits]

Issue

First-time user of the fork here. When starting aider-ce on-top of a project configured with the original aider, I get

fzf not found, fuzzy finder features will be disabled. Install it for enhanced file/history search.

This message appeared also in the context of #54, but in my case unrelated to any MCP problems. There are multiple Python wrapper for fzf, what is required here? Is this simply a missed dependency or is it something else?

Version and model info

aider-ce 0.88.3 installed with uv
Win 11
Python 3.12.10

Ah yeah, there's a PR in aider main where just running the /add command by itself, if you have fzf installed, will open up an interactive menu where you can search through the repo and tab multiple files in. It's optional but I find if very ergonomic for adding files to chat

Is it actively preventing aider from running for you?

Is it actively preventing aider from running for you?

No, it is not. But no message regarding optional parts should be mandatory and cluttering output. Either this becomes configurable or one of the Python wrappers of fzf can be integrated internally. As a first step, if the wrapper provides a compatible CLI, this might be installed alongside aider in a controlled manner (so, it also uninstalls with aider, at least aiders uv tool installation variant can do that).

Valid, it's useless information for those who aren't using fzf, placed behind a verbose flag
