Allow using fzf as a fuzzy matching back-end

Open curusarn opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I have recently run into some issues (https://github.com/daniellandau/switcher/issues/104) with the order of results fuzzy matching in this repo returns.

Would it be possible to use fzf as a fuzzy matching back-end?

It's a very popular and very fast fuzzy matcher so instead of improving fuzzy the builtin matching, it might be a good idea to use what is already available.

There is already a selection between "Strict" and "Fuzzy" so there could be a third option "Fuzzy (fzf)".

Thank you for your work.

To add on to what @curusarn said, a 3rd option of "Custom" could be useful, this would give users the ability to modify args passed to fzf for even more power.

Thanks for the awesome extension.

I'm not opposed to this, code contribution is welcome.
