Homebrew commands enhanced with fzf

Use the excellent fzf to interactively install and uninstall Homebrew formulae and casks.

Usage

You can either use the convenient aliases or triggered completions.

The following aliases are defined:

fbi: Fuzzy brew install
fbui: Fuzzy brew uninstall
fci: Fuzzy cask install
fcui: Fuzzy cask uninstall

You can specify a search parameter, e.g., fbi git will start your search with git.

Alternatively, you can use use the fzf trigger with tab. The default trigger is **. Hence the following command will work brew install git**<tab>. Casks can be installed with brew install --cask **

Obviously, I prefer the much shorter aliases.

Additional functionality

Multiple options can be selected using shift-tab by default.

Previews will show brew info for the selected formula or package.

You can visit the homepage of the formula or cask using ctrl-space.
