+### fzf as selector menu
+Make a script like this (`~/.local/bin/fzfmenu`):
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+export FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS="--height=100% --layout=reverse --border --no-sort --prompt=\"~ \" --color=dark,hl:red:regular,fg+:white:regular,hl+:red:regular:reverse,query:white:regular,info:gray:regular,prompt:red:bold,pointer:red:bold"
+
+exec alacritty --class="fzf-menu" -e bash -c "fzf-tmux -m $* < /proc/$$/fd/0 | awk 'BEGIN {ORS=\" \"} {print}' > /proc/$$/fd/1"
+# For st instead
+# st -c fzf-menu -n fzf-menu -e bash -c "fzf-tmux -m $* < /proc/$$/fd/0 | awk 'BEGIN {ORS=\" \"} {print}' > /proc/$$/fd/1"
+```
+1. Then to run as app launcher, use [sxhkd](https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd) and put in `~/.config/sxhkdrc`
+    ```
+    # run apps launcher
+    control + alt + s ; r
+      dmenu_path | ~/.local/bin/fzfmenu | bash
+    ```
+    ( You can use anything other than `dmenu_path` that gets a list of entries in `$PATH` too.)
+2. To use for `Ctrl-t` for a floating menu from terminal  
+**For bash**
+```bash
+__fzfmenu__() {
+  local cmd="fd -tf --max-depth=1"
+  eval "$cmd" | ~/.local/bin/fzfmenu
+}
+
+__fzf-menu__() {
+  local selected="$(__fzfmenu__)"
+  READLINE_LINE="${READLINE_LINE:0:$READLINE_POINT}$selected${READLINE_LINE:$READLINE_POINT}"
+  READLINE_POINT=$(( READLINE_POINT + ${#selected} ))
+}
+bind -x '"\C-t":"__fzf-menu__"'
+```
+**For zsh**
+```zsh
+__fzfmenu__(){
+  local cmd="fd -tf --max-depth=1"
+  eval $cmd | ~/.local/bin/fzfmenu
+}
+__fzf-menu__() {
+  LBUFFER="${LBUFFER}$(__fzfmenu__)"
+  local ret=$?
+  zle reset-prompt
+  return $ret
+}
+
+zle     -N    __fzf-menu__
+bindkey -M emacs '^T^G' __fzf-menu__
+bindkey -M vicmd '^T^G' __fzf-menu__
+bindkey -M viins '^T^G' __fzf-menu__
+```
