fzf-complete-flags

This script uses fzf to complete flags from your history by typing <c-q>.

Installation

This relies on fzf, so make sure you have that installed.

The script assumes that you have gawk and rg (i.e. ripgrep) installed and on your path.

Also, normally <c-q> is already bound to a command. It is the counterpart to <c-s>, which I wouldn't be surprised if at some point you've accidentally entered and then wondered why your terminal was frozen. I've disabled <c-s> by putting this in my zshrc:

stty -ixon

If you want to keep default <c-q> behavior, you'll need a different trigger.

After all the dependencies are out of the way, source fzf-complete-flags.zsh. I have this block in my zshrc:

# Make sure you clone this first on new installations:
# git clone https://github.com/srsudar/fzf-complete-flags ~/.zsh/fzf-complete-flags
if [ ! -f ~/.zsh/fzf-complete-flags/fzf-complete-flags.zsh ]; then
  echo "fzf-complete-flags.zsh not found--did you clone the repo?" >&2
else
  source ~/.zsh/fzf-complete-flags/fzf-complete-flags.zsh
fi

Background

This began as an issue on the main fzf repo. This blog post describes what the script does.
