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 than fzf, 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.
- But y 2% instead of skim?
- 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.
