Is there a preceding blog post I could read here? Something like, "So you've just heard of fzf for the first time, what even is it?" I was kind of surprised that the author doesn't even make a passing attempt to define or explain it.

There isn't, but this one provides a good overview.

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/fzf-linux-fuzzy-finder

The tl;dr is that it provides terminal fuzzy finding that can be plugged into just about any task that involves finding things.

I use it many times an hour, it's the main way I navigate files and buffers in nvim, it's how I find files in my projects, it's how I select sessions in tmux.

I'd be lost without it.

Thanks for the link!
