feature: start fnf right away before stdin is completely read #1

angelacastaneda commented 6 months ago

I don't mind writing my own scripts and setting up aliases with fnf, but one thing I do miss from fzf is the instant processing of stdin with new lines being added as the last command is executing.

like the following:

find --a --really --long --query | fnf

fnf waits for find to completely finish to take in results, and that delay is annoying. Any chance we could get a feature to run as the stream is coming in?

Hi @angelacastaneda, and thanks for this suggestion. I'll take a look at it as soon as I can.

How difficult is it to implement input streaming in fnf?

Hi @apprehensions . Can't tell, cause I haven't tried. I will as soon as I have some spare time.
