Those of you reading this might also be interested in two_percent, which is a fork of
skim, which in turn is a Rust implementation of fzf. two_percent is faster, more efficient and uses less memory thanfzf, which is especially noticeable with large inputs.My most direct use of fzf is to search large result sets for something I can't 100% remember the name or location of, so this actually sounds nice. I've managed to get fzf to slow down a few times and... well, I'm sure as hell not organizing that folder structure.
What's the difference between two_percent and skim?
It's faster and more memory efficient basically. skim also appears to have been abandoned (no updates in over an year), whereas two_percent is being actively developed.
Last commit to two percent was a year ago.
No, you're looking at the commit log for skim. two_percent was last updated two months ago. I also had a chat with the author yesterday and they're keen to continue maintaining the fork.
But y 2% instead of skim?
