Things you can do with {fzf}{1} and Vim.

RATIONALE                                                    *fzf-vim-rationale*
==============================================================================

{fzf}{1} in itself is not a Vim plugin, and the official repository only
provides the {basic wrapper function}{2} for Vim and it's up to the users to
write their own Vim commands with it. However, I've learned that many users of
fzf are not familiar with Vimscript and are looking for the "default"
implementation of the features they can find in the alternative Vim plugins.

This repository is a bundle of fzf-based commands and mappings extracted from
my {.vimrc}{3} to address such needs. They are not designed to be flexible or
configurable, and there's no guarantee of backward-compatibility.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE FZF ON VIM            *fzf-vim-why-you-should-use-fzf-on-vim*
==============================================================================

Because you can and you love fzf.

fzf runs asynchronously and can be orders of magnitude faster than similar Vim
plugins. However, the benefit may not be noticeable if the size of the input
is small, which is the case for many of the commands provided here.
Nevertheless I wrote them anyway since it's really easy to implement custom
selector with fzf.


INSTALLATION                                              *fzf-vim-installation*
==============================================================================

fzf.vim depends on the basic Vim plugin of {the main fzf repository}{1}, which
means you need to set up both "fzf" and "fzf.vim" on Vim. To learn more about
fzf/Vim integration, see {README-VIM}{4}.

 - Bang-versions of the commands (e.g. `Ag!`) will open fzf in fullscreen
 - You can set `g:fzf_command_prefix` to give the same prefix to the commands
   - e.g. `let g:fzf_command_prefix = 'Fzf'` and you have `FzfFiles`, etc.

(1: `Helptags` will shadow the command of the same name from {pathogen}{11}.
But its functionality is still available via `call pathogen#helptags()`.)

CUSTOMIZATION                                            *fzf-vim-customization*
==============================================================================


< Global options >____________________________________________________________~
                                                        *fzf-vim-global-options*

Every command in fzf.vim internally calls `fzf#wrap` function of the main
repository which supports a set of global option variables. So please read
through {README-VIM}{4} to learn more about them.

                 {4} https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md


Preview window~
                                                        *fzf-vim-preview-window*

                                                          *g:fzf_preview_window*

Some commands will show the preview window on the right. You can customize the
behavior with `g:fzf_preview_window`. Here are some examples:
>
    " This is the default option:
    "   - Preview window on the right with 50% width
    "   - CTRL-/ will toggle preview window.
    " - Note that this array is passed as arguments to fzf#vim#with_preview function.
    " - To learn more about preview window options, see `--preview-window` section of `man fzf`.
    let g:fzf_preview_window = ['right,50%', 'ctrl-/']

    " Preview window is hidden by default. You can toggle it with ctrl-/.
    " It will show on the right with 50% width, but if the width is smaller
    " than 70 columns, it will show above the candidate list
    let g:fzf_preview_window = ['hidden,right,50%,<70(up,40%)', 'ctrl-/']

    " Empty value to disable preview window altogether
    let g:fzf_preview_window = []

                                                 *fzf-vim-command-local-options*

A few commands in fzf.vim can be customized with global option variables shown
below.

               *g:fzf_buffers_jump* *g:fzf_commits_log_options* *g:fzf_tags_command*
                                                         *g:fzf_commands_expect*

Vim functions~
                                                         *fzf-vim-vim-functions*

Each command in fzf.vim is backed by a Vim function. You can override a
command or define a variation of it by calling its corresponding function.

 ----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Command   | Vim function                                                              ~
 ----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  `Files`    |  `fzf#vim#files(dir, [spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
  `GFiles`   |  `fzf#vim#gitfiles(git_options, [spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
  `GFiles?`  |  `fzf#vim#gitfiles('?', [spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
  `Buffers`  |  `fzf#vim#buffers([spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
  `Colors`   |  `fzf#vim#colors([spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
  `Rg`       |  `fzf#vim#grep(command, [has_column bool], [spec dict], [fullscreen bool])`
 ...       | ...
 ----------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(We can see that the last two optional arguments of each function are
identical. They are directly passed to `fzf#wrap` function. If you haven't
read {README-VIM}{4} already, please read it before proceeding.)

                 {4} https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/README-VIM.md


Example: Customizing Files command~
                                     *fzf-vim-example-customizing-files-command*

This is the default definition of `Files` command:
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, <bang>0)
<
Let's say you want to a variation of it called `ProjectFiles` that only
searches inside `~/projects` directory. Then you can do it like this:
>
    command! -bang ProjectFiles call fzf#vim#files('~/projects', <bang>0)
<
Or, if you want to override the command with different fzf options, just pass
a custom spec to the function.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
        \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, {'options': ['--layout=reverse', '--info=inline']}, <bang>0)
<
Want a preview window?
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
        \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, {'options': ['--layout=reverse', '--info=inline', '--preview', 'cat {}']}, <bang>0)
<
It kind of works, but you probably want a nicer previewer program than `cat`.
fzf.vim ships {a versatile preview script}{12} you can readily use. It
internally executes {bat}{5} for syntax highlighting, so make sure to install
it.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
        \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, {'options': ['--layout=reverse', '--info=inline', '--preview', '~/.vim/plugged/fzf.vim/bin/preview.sh {}']}, <bang>0)
<
However, it's not ideal to hard-code the path to the script which can be
different in different circumstances. So in order to make it easier to set up
the previewer, fzf.vim provides `fzf#vim#with_preview` helper function.
Similarly to `fzf#wrap`, it takes a spec dictionary and returns a copy of it
with additional preview options.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
        \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, fzf#vim#with_preview({'options': ['--layout=reverse', '--info=inline']}), <bang>0)
<
You can just omit the spec argument if you only want the previewer.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=? -complete=dir Files
        \ call fzf#vim#files(<q-args>, fzf#vim#with_preview(), <bang>0)
<

Example: git grep wrapper~
                                              *fzf-vim-example-git-grep-wrapper*

The following example implements `GGrep` command that works similarly to
predefined `Ag` or `Rg` using `fzf#vim#grep`.

 - The second argument to `fzf#vim#grep` is 0 (false), because `git grep` does
   not print column numbers.
 - We set the base directory to git root by setting `dir` attribute in spec
   dictionary.
 - {The preview script}{12} supports `grep` format (`FILE_PATH:LINE_NO:...`), so
   we can just wrap the spec with `fzf#vim#with_preview` as before to enable
   previewer.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=* GGrep
      \ call fzf#vim#grep(
      \   'git grep --line-number -- '.shellescape(<q-args>), 0,
      \   fzf#vim#with_preview({'dir': systemlist('git rev-parse --show-toplevel')[0]}), <bang>0)
<
                                                           {12} bin/preview.sh


Example: Rg command with preview window~
                                *fzf-vim-example-rg-command-with-preview-window*

You can see the definition of `Rg` command with `:command Rg`. With the
information, you can redefine it with the preview window enabled. In this
case, we're only interested in setting up the preview window, so we will omit
the spec argument to `fzf#vim#preview`.
>
    command! -bang -nargs=* Rg
      \ call fzf#vim#grep(
      \   'rg --column --line-number --no-heading --color=always --smart-case -- '.shellescape(<q-args>), 1,
      \   fzf#vim#with_preview(), <bang>0)
<

Example: Advanced ripgrep integration~
                                  *fzf-vim-example-advanced-ripgrep-integration*

In the default implementation of `Rg`, ripgrep process starts only once with
the initial query (e.g. `:Rg foo`) and fzf filters the output of the process.

This is okay in most cases because fzf is quite performant even with millions
of lines, but we can make fzf completely delegate its search responsibliity to
ripgrep process by making it restart ripgrep whenever the query string is
updated. In this scenario, fzf becomes a simple selector interface rather than
a "fuzzy finder".

 - We will name the new command all-uppercase `RG` so we can still access the
   default version.
 - `--bind 'change:reload:rg ... {q}'` will make fzf restart ripgrep process
   whenever the query string, denoted by `{q}`, is changed.
 - With `--phony` option, fzf will no longer perform search. The query string you
   type on fzf prompt is only used for restarting ripgrep process.
 - Also note that we enabled previewer with `fzf#vim#with_preview`.
>
    function! RipgrepFzf(query, fullscreen)
      let command_fmt = 'rg --column --line-number --no-heading --color=always --smart-case -- %s || true'
      let initial_command = printf(command_fmt, shellescape(a:query))
      let reload_command = printf(command_fmt, '{q}')
      let spec = {'options': ['--phony', '--query', a:query, '--bind', 'change:reload:'.reload_command]}
      call fzf#vim#grep(initial_command, 1, fzf#vim#with_preview(spec), a:fullscreen)
    endfunction

CUSTOM COMPLETION                                    *fzf-vim-custom-completion*
==============================================================================

`fzf#vim#complete` is a helper function for creating custom fuzzy completion
using fzf. If the first parameter is a command string or a Vim list, it will
be used as the source.
>
    " Replace the default dictionary completion with fzf-based fuzzy completion
    inoremap <expr> <c-x><c-k> fzf#vim#complete('cat /usr/share/dict/words')
<
For advanced uses, you can pass an options dictionary to the function. The set
of options is pretty much identical to that for `fzf#run` only with the
following exceptions:

 - `reducer` (funcref)
   - Reducer transforms the output lines of fzf into a single string value
 - `prefix` (string or funcref; default: `\k*$`)
   - Regular expression pattern to extract the completion prefix
   - Or a function to extract completion prefix
 - Both `source` and `options` can be given as funcrefs that take the completion
   prefix as the argument and return the final value

want to customize the statusline of the containing buffer.
