fzf

I had already encountered the fzf (fuzzy finder) before, it’s a great friend when you are developing in vim. What I didn’t know though is that when you install it through the packet manager you might miss out on something really great with the fzf. It might be that it doesn’t install itself to help you search through the history in your terminal. And that’s a real shame!

What I did was I tried running the install script for the fzf on my machine, and that remapped ctrl+r to let you use the fzf when searching in the history for old commands. And wow, that’s a really great feature!
