MANOPT-FZF

Interactively search command options from man with fzf.

INSTALL

Copy manoptfzf.sh in $PATH and source it

manoptfzf() {
local dir
man $1 | sed -n "/^\s*-. /p" | fzf --preview "manopt $1 {1}"
}

This function accept a command name and calls manopt. I must use an extra function because fzf pass argument as single-quoted in --preview.

Copy in $PATH and make executable with chmod +x

fzf doesn't see my custom bash function in --preview, but an executable is fine.

whatis $1
man $1 | sed -n "/^\s*$2/,/^$/p"

EXAMPLE

manopt

# copy in $PATH and make executable with chmod +x
# fzf don't grab my custom define function in --preview
whatis $1
man $1 | sed -n "/^\s*$2/,/^$/p"
