# Add fzf-powered ctrl+r to ipython
[](https://github.com/iloveitaly/ipython-ctrlr-fzf/releases) [](https://pepy.tech/project/ipython-ctrlr-fzf) [](https://pypi.org/project/ipython-ctrlr-fzf)  [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
Add fzf-powered ctrl+r to ipython. It's nice.
## Installation
You must have fzf installed for this to work:
```bash
# macos
brew install fzf
# linux
apt-get install fzf
```
I'd also recommend installing [bat](https://github.com/sharkdp/bat) for syntax highlighting. It's detected and an advanced preview is shown when available.
Then, install the extension:
```bash
pip install ipython-ctrlr-fzf
```
And in ipython, load the extension:
```shell
%load_ext ipython_ctrlr_fzf
```
Alternatively, you can add the output of the following to your `ipython_config.py`:
```shell
python -m ipython_ctrlr_fzf
```
