How to replace fzf

[CRAG666]

Your project is great and I would like to completely replace fzf, I leave an example of what I want to replace:

pacman -Slq | fzf --multi --preview 'pacman -Si {1}' | xargs -ro sudo pacman -S

Hey @CRAG666, you can use gum filter with the --no-limit flags here.

pacman -Slq | gum filter --no-limit | xargs -ro sudo pacman -S

Regarding the preview, you have to use cut(1) to extract the data you want.

Hey @CRAG666,

There are a few examples here showing how to combine cut with other gum commands and other pipelines:

I would also highly recommend watching this video on cut to learn more about it. It's a fantastic tool!
