skim

skim (sk) is an interactive fuzzy finder. It reads a list of lines from
standard input or from a command, lets you filter them as you type, and
prints the selected lines. It supports multi-select, previews, custom key
bindings, regex and exact matching, and shell integrations.

The upstream command is called sk. This snap provides it as skim; to
use the upstream name, run:

sudo snap alias skim sk

Examples

git log --oneline | skim

vim "$(skim)"

skim --preview 'cat {}' --multi

skim --filter main < files.txt

Shell integration

Key bindings (CTRL-T, CTRL-R, ALT-C) call sk, so create the alias first,
then add this line to ~/.bashrc (zsh and fish are also supported):

eval "$(sk --shell bash --shell-bindings)"

Commands run inside the snap

Without piped input, skim runs $SKIMDEFAULTCOMMAND (default: find .).
That command, --cmd, --preview and execute(...) bindings run inside
the snap, where only basic tools such as find, grep, sed, cat and ls are
available. Host programs such as fd, rg, bat or git are not; pipe their
output into skim instead.

File access

skim can read files in your home directory. To also browse USB drives and
other removable media (/media, /mnt), run:

sudo snap connect skim:removable-media
