What exactly does this add to fzf? I'm not sure I fully understood the readme


whenever you pipe input into fzf, it goes into fuzzy mode and you can select one of the lines of the input.

so, doing something like

    vim $(find . -name *.py | fzf)
will show you a prompt where you can search for all .py files on the current folder. after you select a file, it will open it on vim.

it's something textmate's find in project, but for the command line.

(i hope that made sense :))


That cleared things up a bit, thanks!
