Multiple patterns delimited by spaces #67

Open notramo opened 6 years ago

notramo commented 6 years ago

Please add a mode to fzy so search with multiple patterns. (see the EXTENDED SEARCH MODE in fzf man page) In this mode, spaces don't match a literal space character, but acts as delimiters of patterns, and each pattern is matched independently. In this mode, with two patterns, a string should get lower score, if the two patterns matches directly next to each other. A string should get a higher score, if the patterns match in the order they are given in the prompt. (Currently, using this mode of fzf gives better results with less typing)

Yes please. When selecting files in vim, I'll often notice that there are multiple matches in different directories. With fzf, it's very convenient to type a space and then a match for the directory.
