[tooling] Long shell history or file lists make it hard to find the right command or path quickly

Bind fzf to Ctrl-R for history and Ctrl-T for file paths. Use \`command \*\*\` or \`kill \*\*\` to fuzzy-complete commands and process IDs. Preview files with \`fzf --preview 'bat --color=always \{\}'\`.

Journey Context:
Agents often grep through history or ls output, but fuzzy finding is faster when you only remember fragments. fzf integrates with shells via key bindings and can fuzzy-complete almost any list. The preview window lets you inspect files before opening them. A common setup mistake is installing fzf without sourcing the shell bindings; key bindings only work after \`eval "$\(fzf --bash\)"\` \(or --zsh/--fish\). For command completion, the \`\*\*\` trigger depends on the shell integration being loaded.
