Any time that vscode requires interaction with the OS file dialog, the workflow can become much less efficient. This comes up when opening files outside of your workspace folders or adding a workspace folder. This extension solves that by providing these actions using fzf.
Provides an interface to search using ripgrep
and browse the results using fzf
. This is inspired by Vim's rg
and fzf
integration. The search pattern defaults to the word under your cursor or your current selection and is easily overridden.
Works on *nix, Mac, and Windows. Tested with CMD, PowerShell, and Git Bash on Windows.
Provides the commands:
fzf: Search using rg and fzf
to search using fzf
and ripgrep
fzf: Open file using fzf
opens a terminal in which you can choose a filefzf: Add workspace folder using fzf
to add a workspace folderOn terminal launch, the pwd
is chosen based on the active editor file. Also adds
fzf: Search in PWD using rg and fzf
fzf: Open file in PWD using fzf
fzf: Add workspace folder from PWD using fzf
which are the same as above but switches to parent directory of active file on every invocation.
On terminal launch, the Project Root (.git)
is opened based on the results of git rev-parse --show-toplevel
on the active editor file. Also adds
fzf: Search in Project Root (.git) using rg and fzf
fzf: Open file in Project Root (.git) using fzf
which are the same as the above but switches to project root directory of the active file on every invocation.
Bind the commands to keyboard shortcuts to launch faster.
Change the setting fzf-quick-open.initialWorkingDirectory
to override the initial working directory used for the fzf terminal. Change fzf-quick-open.findDirectoriesCmd
to change the command used to find directories. Something like fd --type d
is very fast if you use fd.
By default fzf
is used as the fuzzy matcher command. To change this to add flags or use another tool like skim (sk
) modify the setting fzf-quick-open.fuzzyCmd
to be the command that should be run. It will be plugged in to a context like: rg searchTerm | fzf --ansi --print0 ...
and needs to support --ansi --print0
flags.
To change the rg
case matching options use the setting fzf-quick-open.ripgrepSearchStyle
to choose between:
To pass other flags to rg
add them to fzf-quick-open.ripgrepOptions
.
For best performance you should set up fzf
to use the amazingly fast fd
~/.config/fish/config.fish
set --universal FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND 'fd'
~/.bashrc
echo "export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='fd'" >> ~/.bashrc
Configure the setting fzf-quick-open.findDirectoriesCmd
to use fd
: fd --type d
