Support skim? #85

Closed kevintraver closed 2 years ago

kevintraver commented 2 years ago

Is it possible to use an alternate search tool such as skim instead of fzf?

I tried setting

@extrakto_fzf_tool "sk"

but, I believe it has slightly different configuration options.

laktak commented 2 years ago

No, extrakto is tied to fzf at the moment.

I don't see any advantage in using skim when looking at https://github.com/lotabout/skim#differences-to-fzf. What is your use case?

Skim has true regex search

kevintraver commented 2 years ago

Yeah, that makes thanks.

Not having full regex with extrakto its probably not as big of a deal since its only searching the visible text.

But it would definitely be helpful with something like tmux-fuzzback

Extrakto searches the full text buffer by default.

IMO extrakto/fzf is to do a quick selection - if you need a regex then maybe this is not the right tool. I copy the buffer to vim for these cases.
