Vim Fuzzy Finder like for Emacs?

Question

I'm trying Emacs again, after saw the combination of company+alchemist. And again I'm struggling to find alternatives to some Vim plugins. One of the biggest difficulties is file navigation. With fuzzy finder(https://github.com/junegunn/fzf) I can find a file in any place, only search by his name. I searched hard but can't find anything similar to fuzzy finder/ctrlp in Emacs. There is a good replacement of fuzzy finder for Emacs ?

Answer 1

There's an Emacs frontend for fzf as well. You can install it from ELPA (M-x list-packages, navigate to fzf, press i then x to install). You need to download the fzf program separately, if you don't already have it.

Alternatively, try out Helm (also available from ELPA). Read this tutorial. It provides the same services as fzf and much more (because it isn't limited to finding files), in its own way.

Answer 2

I have combined the two from @tjbruno answer. https://github.com/ibmandura/helm-fzf/blob/master/helm-fzf.el

Here you can use fzf with helm as frontend :)
