have no need for this, plenty fast without it. these two have been sufficient for all my needs:
ctrl + r for most things
history | grep for searching when i forget the exact command or want to see related commands.
I don't want pull downs, pull ups, drop downs, expanded hamburger menu, hot dogs, another set of key strokes to remember how i started some service last month.

You seem to be stuck in your ways, so that even when new better alternatives are created, you dismiss them unceremoniously, possibly without having taken the time to evaluate them.
It's something I've noticed with quite a few linux users, and I find that super interesting!
May I ask what's your age range? (just curious)
Do you think the time spend in an exploratory phase for new tools (ex: getting familiar with fzy) would not be recovered by time gains in the exploitation phase? Or is it because of a fear of the unknown, or a belief that old habits may be hard to change?
It's a very serious question BTW, I hope it's not too personal
He claims to save a bunch of keystrokes by using it this way. But the string literal `vi $(fzf)` is saved in ~/.bash_history, not the actual filename. So you have to memorize the filename, AND deal with all those hamburgers and hot dogs, if you ever wanna re-edit that file after closing it.
