User: My ZZ plant has been growing in a specific direction. Should I turn it around to make sure it grows evenly?
Assistant: It's a common occurrence for ZZ plants, like many houseplants, to grow in the direction of their light source. Rotating your ZZ plant is a good practice to encourage more even growth. By turning the plant every few weeks, you ensure that all sides get equal exposure to light, which can help maintain a balanced shape. Just be sure not to over-rotate, as frequent changes in light direction can sometimes stress the plant. A quarter turn every 2-4 weeks is usually sufficient.
User: How do I add to this zsh function so that it includes my current text I've typed in the prompt as the query for fzf? fzf-history-search() {   local selected_command   selected_command=$(fc -ln 0 | fzf --tac --preview 'echo {}' --select-1 --exit-0)    # If a command is selected, replace the current line with it   if [[ -n "$selected_command" ]]; then     BUFFER="$selected_command"     CURSOR=${#BUFFER}  # Move the cursor to the end   fi }
Assistant: To modify your `fzf-history-search` function to include the current text you've typed in the prompt as the initial query for `fzf`, you can use `BUFFER` (which contains the current input in the command line) as the initial query for `fzf`. Here's how you can adjust your function:

```zsh
fzf-history-search() {
  local selected_command
  # Use the current buffer as the initial query for fzf
  selected_command=$(fc -ln 0 | fzf --tac --preview 'echo {}' --select-1 --exit-0 --query "$BUFFER")
  
  # If a command is selected, replace the current line with it
  if [[ -n "$selected_command" ]]; then
    BUFFER="$selected_command"
    CURSOR=${#BUFFER}  # Move the cursor to the end
  fi
  zle reset-prompt  # Resets the prompt display with updated content
}

# Bind the function to a key sequence (for example, Ctrl+R)
zle -N fzf-history-search
bindkey '^R' fzf-history-search
```

In this adjusted function, `--query "$BUFFER"` is added to the `fzf` call. This option sets the initial query in the `fzf` interface to whatever you have currently typed in the command line, allowing you to start filtering your command history with the existing input.

Don't forget to bind the function to a key sequence, like `Ctrl+R`, if that's not done in your setup yet. This way, you can easily invoke the function whenever you want to search through your history using `fzf`.
User: Ok now how do I modify the query so it is a prefix search in fzf?
Assistant: To modify the query in your `fzf-history-search` function so that it performs a prefix search in `fzf`, you need to adjust the query by adding a caret (`^`) to its beginning. This character instructs `fzf` to treat the query as a prefix match pattern.

Here's how you can modify your function:

```zsh
fzf-history-search() {
  local selected_command
  # Add a caret to the beginning of the BUFFER to make it a prefix search
  selected_command=$(fc -ln 0 | fzf --tac --preview 'echo {}' --select-1 --exit-0 --query "^$BUFFER")
  
  # If a command is selected, replace the current line with it
  if [[ -n "$selected_command" ]]; then
    BUFFER="$selected_command"
    CURSOR=${#BUFFER}  # Move the cursor to the end
  fi
  zle reset-prompt  # Resets the prompt display with updated content
}

# Bind the function to a key sequence (for example, Ctrl+R)
zle -N fzf-history-search
bindkey '^R' fzf-history-search
```

In this modification, `--query "^$BUFFER"` ensures that the search within `fzf` treats the content of `BUFFER` as a prefix search pattern. This means it will only match items from the command history that start with the input currently in your prompt.
User: Now how can I make it so that if I click backspace (without typing anything else into the search prompt) it will close the fzf window? If I continue typing to refine my query I want backspace to act normally until it gets to the original buffer text and then it should close fzf.
Assistant: To modify the behavior of `fzf` so that pressing backspace when reaching the original query closes the `fzf` window, you can use `--bind` in `fzf` to execute a custom command. You'll want to trigger an abort action when the query becomes empty and backspace is pressed, but only if you have been going back to your original input length.

Here's how you can modify the function to include this behavior:

```zsh
fzf-history-search() {
  local selected_command
  local original_length=${#BUFFER}  # Store the original length of the buffer
  
  # Use fzf with a custom bind for backspace
  selected_command=$(
    fc -ln 0 | fzf --tac --preview 'echo {}' --select-1 --exit-0 \
    --query "^$BUFFER" \
    --bind "change:reload:sleep 0.1" \
    --bind "backspace:if(empty,abort)+reload(sleep 0.1);prev" \
    --bind "start:reload:command -v sleep > /dev/null 2>&1 || echo 'sleep command not found'" 
  )
  
  # If a command is selected, replace the current line with it
  if [[ -n "$selected_command" ]]; then
    BUFFER="$selected_command"
    CURSOR=${#BUFFER}  # Move the cursor to the end
  fi
  zle reset-prompt  # Resets the prompt display with updated content
}

# Bind the function to a key sequence (for example, Ctrl+R)
zle -N fzf-history-search
bindkey '^R' fzf-history-search
```

Here's what's happening in the modified `fzf`:

1. **Original Length Tracking**: The original length of the buffer is stored. This is used to determine when you've returned to the start of your query.

2. **`--bind` with Change Reload**: The `change:reload:sleep 0.1` ensures that the state refreshes, allowing us to detect changes effectively.

3. **Custom Backspace Binding**: The `backspace:if(empty,abort)+reload(sleep 0.1);prev` does the following:
   - Checks if the current query is empty.
   - If it's empty, `abort` is triggered, closing the `fzf` window.
   - The `reload` ensures it can detect whether it reached the original query, effectively acting as a safeguard when pressing backspace continuously.

This setup allows for a seamless workflow where you can type and delete characters normally, but if you attempt to backspace beyond the original input, it will exit `fzf`.
