From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What is skim?

Basically I press ctrl + r to show bash history in skim. Tho when I select an option the new line that gets printed with the completed sentence is weirdly printed.

skim has unfortunately been abandoned, there have been no updates in an year, and several old PRs and issues remain untouched. The current recommend fork is two_percent, which is also more faster and memory efficient.

If you're facing the same issue with two_percent as well, you can reach out to the author in this thread, since they haven't yet opened up their issues tab.

OMG you're so right. I didn't look at the last commit date. I just saw "RUST" and my mind said "yes". Didn't consider anything else. Well I use nixos and so can't use two_percent. I am gonna wait for a while for any update or will move back to fzf then. Thank you for pointing it out, otherwise I would have been in hopes that my issue will get answered on github lol.
