Examples (vim)

locate command integration

command! -nargs=1 Locate call fzf#run(
      \ {'source': 'locate <q-args>', 'sink': 'e', 'options': '-m'})

:Locate / will list every file on the system. So make sure that you're using Go version of fzf which is significantly faster than the old Ruby version.

Open files in splits

Deprecated. Use CTRL-X/V/T with :FZF command instead.

" Open files in horizontal split
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>s :call fzf#run({
\   'down': '40%',
\   'sink': 'botright split' })<CR>

" Open files in vertical horizontal split
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>v :call fzf#run({
\   'right': winwidth('.') / 2,
\   'sink':  'vertical botright split' })<CR>

Choose color scheme

nnoremap <silent> <Leader>C :call fzf#run({
\   'source':
\     map(split(globpath(&rtp, "colors/*.vim"), "\n"),
\         "substitute(fnamemodify(v:val, ':t'), '\\..\\{-}$', '', '')"),
\   'sink':    'colo',
\   'options': '+m',
\   'left':    30
\ })<CR>

Select buffer

function! s:buflist()
  redir => ls
  silent ls
  redir END
  return split(ls, '\n')
endfunction

function! s:bufopen(e)
  execute 'buffer' matchstr(a:e, '^[ 0-9]*')
endfunction

nnoremap <silent> <Leader><Enter> :call fzf#run({
\   'source':  reverse(<sid>buflist()),
\   'sink':    function('<sid>bufopen'),
\   'options': '+m',
\   'down':    len(<sid>buflist()) + 2
\ })<CR>

Simple MRU search

v:oldfiles

command! FZFMru call fzf#run({
\  'source':  v:oldfiles,
\  'sink':    'e',
\  'options': '-m -x +s',
\  'down':    '40%'})

Filtered v:oldfiles and open buffers

command! FZFMru call fzf#run({
\ 'source':  reverse(s:all_files()),
\ 'sink':    'edit',
\ 'options': '-m -x +s',
\ 'down':    '40%' })

function! s:all_files()
  return extend(
  \ filter(copy(v:oldfiles),
  \        "v:val !~ 'fugitive:\\|NERD_tree\\|^/tmp/\\|.git/'"),
  \ map(filter(range(1, bufnr('$')), 'buflisted(v:val)'), 'bufname(v:val)'))
endfunction

Jump to tags (simple)

command! -bar Tags if !empty(tagfiles()) | call fzf#run({
\   'source': "sed '/^\\!/d;s/\t.*//' " . join(tagfiles()) . ' | uniq',
\   'sink':   'tag',
\ }) | else | echo 'Preparing tags' | call system('ctags -R') | FZFTag | endif

Jump to tags

This version better handles same tags across different files.

function! s:tags_sink(line)
  let parts = split(a:line, '\t\zs')
  let excmd = matchstr(parts[2:], '^.*\ze;"\t')
  execute 'silent e' parts[1][:-2]
  let [magic, &magic] = [&magic, 0]
  execute excmd
  let &magic = magic
endfunction

function! s:tags()
  if empty(tagfiles())
    echohl WarningMsg
    echom 'Preparing tags'
    echohl None
    call system('ctags -R --excmd=number')
  endif

  call fzf#run({
  \ 'source':  'cat '.join(map(tagfiles(), 'fnamemodify(v:val, ":S")')).
  \            '| grep -v ^!',
  \ 'options': '+m -d "\t" --with-nth 1,4.. -n 1 --tiebreak=index',
  \ 'down':    '40%',
  \ 'sink':    function('s:tags_sink')})
endfunction

command! Tags call s:tags()

Jump to tags in the current buffer

function! s:align_lists(lists)
  let maxes = {}
  for list in a:lists
    let i = 0
    while i < len(list)
      let maxes[i] = max([get(maxes, i, 0), len(list[i])])
      let i += 1
    endwhile
  endfor
  for list in a:lists
    call map(list, "printf('%-'.maxes[v:key].'s', v:val)")
  endfor
  return a:lists
endfunction

function! s:btags_source()
  let lines = map(split(system(printf(
    \ 'ctags -f - --sort=no --excmd=number --language-force=%s %s',
    \ &filetype, expand('%:S'))), "\n"), 'split(v:val, "\t")')
  if v:shell_error
    throw 'failed to extract tags'
  endif
  return map(s:align_lists(lines), 'join(v:val, "\t")')
endfunction

function! s:btags_sink(line)
  execute split(a:line, "\t")[2]
endfunction

function! s:btags()
  try
    call fzf#run({
    \ 'source':  s:btags_source(),
    \ 'options': '+m -d "\t" --with-nth 1,4.. -n 1 --tiebreak=index',
    \ 'down':    '40%',
    \ 'sink':    function('s:btags_sink')})
  catch
    echohl WarningMsg
    echom v:exception
    echohl None
  endtry
endfunction

command! BTags call s:btags()

Search lines in all open vim buffers

function! s:line_handler(l)
  let keys = split(a:l, ':\t')
  exec 'buf' keys[0]
  exec keys[1]
  normal! ^zz
endfunction

function! s:buffer_lines()
  let res = []
  for b in filter(range(1, bufnr('$')), 'buflisted(v:val)')
    call extend(res, map(getbufline(b,0,"$"), 'b . ":\t" . (v:key + 1) . ":\t" . v:val '))
  endfor
  return res
endfunction

command! FZFLines call fzf#run({
\   'source':  <sid>buffer_lines(),
\   'sink':    function('<sid>line_handler'),
\   'options': '--extended --nth=3..',
\   'down':    '60%'
\})

Narrow ag results within vim

• CTRL-X, CTRL-V, CTRL-T to open in a new split, vertical split, tab respectively.
• CTRL-A to select all matches and list them in quickfix window
  • CTRL-D to deselect all
• Ag without argument will list all the lines

function! s:ag_to_qf(line)
  let parts = split(a:line, ':')
  return {'filename': parts[0], 'lnum': parts[1], 'col': parts[2],
