Autocomplete nvim recent files in command line

Install the python package

pip install nfasd

Add the following line in your ~/.bashrc

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete-menu nfasd)"

# use TAB to cycle through all possible matches
# optional but highly recommended
[[ $- = *i* ]] && bind TAB:menu-complete

Alternatively, if you use zsh, add the following to ~/.zshrc

eval "$(register-python-argcomplete-menu nfasd)"
# stop shell from beeping for every complete
# optional but highly recommended
setopt NO_LIST_BEEP

For fish shell, you need to install

pip install argcomplete
register-python-argcomplete --shell fish my-favourite-script.py > ~/.config/fish/my-favourite-script.py.fish

Add the following to ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

alias n='nfasd -e nvim'
alias ny='nfasd -e nyaovim'

Then you can press n myPro<tab> to get n ~/myProject

-e specifies which executable to open the file

If you want to exclude certain file patterns, use the --exclude option, e.g.

alias n=`nfasd -e nvim --exclude tmp`
