Naming Convention

The Pattern

Every my-fzf command follows a consistent naming pattern:

f + scope + action + [type] + [variant/extension]

The f prefix stands for fzf. Everything after it describes what the command does.

Scopes

The scope determines where the command searches.

Scope	Letter	Path
Current directory	c	. (cwd)
Repository root	r	Git repo root, or . if not in a repo
Global	g	$HOME

Actions + Types

The action determines what the command does with the results.

Letters	Action	Tool
f	Find file	fd + fzf
d	Find directory	fd + fzf
n	Open in nvim	fd + fzf + nvim
b	Preview with bat	fd + fzf + bat
z	cd with zoxide	zoxide + fzf
g	Grep	rg + fzf
gb	Grep + preview	rg + fzf + bat
gn	Grep + open in nvim	rg + fzf + nvim

Variant Suffixes

Variants modify how fd and rg search.

Suffix	Meaning	fd/rg flags
-h	Include hidden files	--hidden
-ni	No gitignore (show ignored files)	--no-ignore
-hni	Both hidden and no-ignore	--hidden --no-ignore

Extension Suffixes

Extension suffixes filter results to specific file types.

Suffix	Extensions matched
md	.md
ts	.ts, .tsx, .mts, .cts
js	.js, .jsx, .mjs, .cjs
json	.json, .jsonc
sh	.sh, .bash, .zsh
css	.css, .scss, .sass, .less
svelte	.svelte
astro	.astro
html	.html, .htm
toml	.toml

File Operations

File operation commands add an operation prefix before the type.

Letters	Operation
rmf	Remove file
rmd	Remove directory
mvf	Move file(s)
mvd	Move directory
cpf	Copy file(s)
cpd	Copy directory
rnf	Rename file
rnd	Rename directory

Tip

File operations also support extension suffixes. For example, fcrmfmd removes a markdown file in the current directory.

Putting It Together

Reading a command name left to right:

Command	Breakdown	Meaning
fcf	f + c + f	fzf + cwd + find file
frf	f + r + f	fzf + repo + find file
fgn	f + g + n	fzf + global + open in nvim
fcg-h	f + c + g + -h	fzf + cwd + grep + hidden
frfts	f + r + f + ts	fzf + repo + find file + TypeScript
fcrmfmd	f + c + rmf + md	fzf + cwd + remove file + markdown
