fzf in Breadstick

Breadstick note

fzf's full-screen picker runs in Breadstick's Terminal. The arrow keys and Ctrl it uses are on the key bar above the on-screen keyboard, and with a physical keyboard, the keys reach it as they do on a PC.

Breadstick runs Debian's own fzf package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so fzf should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is an interactive program that runs inside a terminal rather than in a window of its own: in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • fzf
  • fzf-tmux

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Search tools read your Linux home folder and, once Device files is granted, your Android folders, which appear there too. Searching is much faster in your Linux home folder than in Android's shared folders. More in the docs: The Terminal.
