If the terminal window is small horizontally, then the description of a package is cut off. This would be fixed by enabling word wrap. This can be fixed by adding --preview-window ":wrap" to the fzf arguments, this info is in the man page for fzf.

Removing aur packages is not working.

Example:

# try to remove with paruz
paruz -R
error: target not found: aur/sublime-text-4

# ok to remove with paru
paru -Rnc sublime-text-4 

My previous solution was save pkg list regularly w/ systemd timer then search and install with fzf + yay.

But paruz is more better than my ad-hoc script. So I'm thinking about stick with paruz.

How about caching pkg list? Like only refresh every one hour.

Thanks for paruz and sysz. I'm very enjoying sysz also.

I don't really know if this is possible, but it would be nice to group the results. Sometimes the result at the bottom is in the AUR when a perfectly good community package exists.

The links in the info panel do not work when clicked for me in kitty. Sometimes I like to view the comments in an AUR package before install, and would like to be able to click the URL.

I tried running paruz with just pacman and no other AUR helper and it fails to run. On exiting, the error is sudo pacman: no such command found. I'm running:

• bash: 5.1.18
• fzf: 0.27.2

paruz

code

just a different example of how i do this

  cmd=$(pacman -Slq | fzf --prompt 'pacman> ' \
    --header 'Install packages. CTRL+[P/Y/R/I/Q] (Pacman/Yay/Paru/Installed/Quit)' \
    --bind 'ctrl-p:change-prompt(pacman> )+reload(pacman -Slq)' \
    --bind 'ctrl-y:change-prompt(yay> )+reload(yay -Slq)' \
    --bind 'ctrl-r:change-prompt(paru> )+reload(paru -Slq)' \
    --bind 'ctrl-i:change-prompt(inst> )+reload(yay -Qq)' \
    --multi --height=80% --preview 'sleep 2; yay -Si {1}' \
    --preview-window right) #| xargs -ro pacman -S
  cmd=${cmd//$'\n'/ }       # newline -> space
  if [ -n "$cmd" ]; then
    yay -S "$cmd"
  fi
  exit

I install anki-git from archlinux-cn, not aur.

❯ paru -Qi anki-git

but when I use paruz

已安装 means installed.

I am sort of confused.
