  I've been frustrated with how slow terminal filesystem navigation feels in comparison with modern apps like Notion, Slack, Discord, etc.

  I discovered the amazing https://github.com/junegunn/fzf , and realized I could build ⌘-k for the terminal.

  Well now I know about cmd-k for slack; that app has THE worst discoverability of any app I've used on the desktop.

  I'm not near a keyboard so I can't check my muscle-memory, but isn't cmd-k already bound to clear buffer? I would have gone with cmd-p myself, which matches the same functionality for vscode.

  Regardless, tying it to a specific key binding strikes me as a little odd.

  Criticism aside, this looks insanely cool and I'll install it first thing when i get to work.
