if [[ "$#" != 0 ]]; then
builtin cd "$@";

__cd_path="$(echo $(pwd)/${__cd_nxt} | sed "s;//;/;")";

}Integration with autojump
like normal autojump when used with arguments but displays an fzf prompt when used without
j() {
if [[ "$#" -ne 0 ]]; then
cd $(autojump $@)
return
fi
cd "$(autojump -s | sort -k1gr | awk '$1 ~ /[0-9]:/ && $2 ~ /^\// { for (i=2; i<=NF; i++) { print $(i) } }' | fzf --height 40% --reverse --inline-info)"
}Integration with z.
like normal z when used with arguments but displays an fzf prompt when used without.
unalias z 2> /dev/null
z() {
[ $# -gt 0 ] && _z "$*" && return
cd "$(_z -l 2>&1 | fzf --height 40% --nth 2.. --reverse --inline-info +s --tac --query "${*##-* }" | sed 's/^[0-9,.]* *//')"
}Here is another version that also supports relaunching z with the arguments for the previous command as the default input by using zz
unalias z
z() {
if [[ -z "$*" ]]; then
cd "$(_z -l 2>&1 | fzf +s --tac | sed 's/^[0-9,.]* *//')"
else
_last_z_args="$@"
_z "$@"
fi
}
zz() {
cd "$(_z -l 2>&1 | sed 's/^[0-9,.]* *//' | fzf -q "$_last_z_args")"
}Since z is not very optimal located on a qwerty keyboard I have these aliased as j and jj
alias j=z
alias jj=zzWith fz.
It's yet another z integration. In this version, fuzzy search is enabled with tab completion.
With fasd.
Suggested by @l4u and @epiloque
z() {
local dir
dir="$(fasd -Rdl "$1" | fzf -1 -0 --no-sort +m)" && cd "${dir}" || return 1
}Suggested by @mazinbokhari
# fasd & fzf change directory - jump using `fasd` if given argument, filter output of `fasd` using `fzf` else
z() {
[ $# -gt 0 ] && fasd_cd -d "$*" && return
local dir
dir="$(fasd -Rdl "$1" | fzf -1 -0 --no-sort +m)" && cd "${dir}" || return 1
}
Yet another useful application for fzf: shell bookmarks. It looks as follows:

For instance, one can query for author names, article title, journal, institutions, keywords. It works by extracting the text on the first page of the PDF using pdftotext.
The selected file is then opened by the default pdf viewer.
Requires the pdftotext command line tool. Tested on Ubuntu 17.10 on bash and zsh.
The script is now given at https://github.com/bellecp/fast-p
