fm

fm provides a gui to select an item from a list using a fuzzy matching algorithm.
When an item is selected, it is sent to the plumber send port unless the -p option is used in which case the item name is printed on standard output and the application exits.

Left-click an item to select it.
Right-click to activate the selected item.

Keyboard shortcuts:

• Arrow up / down change selection
• Enter activate selection
• Page up / down scroll by one screen page
• Home go to first item in the list
• End go to last item in the list
• Ctrl-U clears the input line
• Esc clears the input line unless input is empty in which case it exits fm
• Del to exit fm

Usage:

Install with usual mk install
Run: ... | fm [-p]

The provided b script gives a usage example.
