Fuzzy-search for, and open files.

Uses Spotlight to search for a file containing all the characters in the query in that order (i.e., file name matches the regex /^.*m.*y.*q.*u.*e.*r.*y.*$/. Built for macOS.

I recommend creating an alias such as alias fof=fuzzy-open-file.

Usage: fuzzy-open-file [-a <application>] [-h] [-p <path>] [--vim] query

Options:

-a        Opens with the specified application.

-h, --help    Print this help message and exit.

-p, --path    Search only within the specified path (default: ~).

--vim        Opens file with vim.

Examples:

~$ fuzzy-open-file curdes.ske # open ~/Documents/CurrentDesign.sketch

~$ fuzzy-open-file sl.p # open ~/Documents/Friday's\ Presentation/slides.pdf

  2. Append 'fuzzy-open-file' to the line in your ~/.zprezto/runcoms/zpreztorc which starts with zstyle ':prezto:load'...
