Inline version of fuzzy-finder?

[kbd]

With fzf I use the --height option to make it not go "fullscreen". With tab, if I type tab or ctrl-t, then decide not to go into one of the sessions and hit escape, it annoyingly still clears my current session.

Also, fwiw, I tried to see what would happen if I piped the name of a tab into tab so I could actually use it with fzf easily:

$ echo one | tab
thread 'tokio-runtime-worker' panicked at 'failed to enable raw mode: IoError(Os { code: 25, kind: Other, message: "Inappropriate ioctl for device" })', /Users/kbd/.cargo/registry/src/github.jparrowsec.cn-1ecc6299db9ec823/tab-command-0.5.4/src/service/terminal.rs:32:48
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

I think there a few things I could do here:

• I think I could make tab; ESC preserve your command history. It wouldn't work if you had disconnected from a session though - as tab resets the terminal state when disconnecting (removing the stdout from your root shell from the buffer).
• It definitely makes sense to have echo foo | tab do something. Maybe open the fuzzy finder with the input as a query.

Just so I'm clear, here's a quick screencast of what I'm talking about with the first point. This is just opening tab up and hitting escape:

Yeah, that's expected behavior at the moment. I think I can make it better w/ the alternate buffer though.

Ah, the inappropriate ioctl error is an upstream issue in crossterm: crossterm-rs/crossterm#396

I was able to fix the 'clearing' issue though. It'll be going out with v0.6.0.
