fzf

fzf is the fuzzy finder; the OMZ plugin locates the Homebrew install and wires up its key bindings and shell completion. The binary comes from the Brewfile (brew "fzf").

Key	Does
Ctrl+R	fuzzy-search shell history, insert the pick
Ctrl+T	fuzzy-pick file(s), paste path(s) at the cursor
Alt+C	fuzzy-pick a directory and cd into it
**<Tab>	fuzzy completion for any command's argument

Pro tips

• Ctrl+T mid-command is the habit to build: type vim , hit Ctrl+T, fuzzy-type a fragment of the filename, Enter. Works for git add, chezmoi edit, anything. Multi-select with Tab inside the picker.
• **<Tab> triggers fzf completion where normal completion would run: cd **<Tab>, kill -9 **<Tab> (picks from a process list), ssh **<Tab> (picks from known hosts).
• If FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND is unset, the plugin auto-prefers fd, then rg, then ag for file listing — respecting .gitignore and skipping .git/. ripgrep is one uncomment away in the Brewfile, and the ZSH_AI_PROMPT_EXTEND in ~/.zshrc already tells zsh-ai to prefer rg/fd, so the tooling agrees with itself.
• Ctrl+R beats blind ↑-mashing for anything older than a few commands; for "I remember one word" cases, history-substring-search's ↑ is faster.
• Theme it to match Ghostty: export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS with the Catppuccin Mocha palette so the picker stops looking like a ransom note against the Mocha background.
• The custom Tab binding (autosuggest-tab.zsh) defers to fzf-completion when no autosuggestion is showing, so **<Tab> keeps working.
