[tooling] How to integrate fuzzy file search into everyday shell navigation?

Set \`export FZF\_DEFAULT\_COMMAND='fd --type f'\` and source fzf key bindings \(\`source /usr/share/fzf/key-bindings.bash\`\) to enable Ctrl-T \(files\), Ctrl-R \(history\), Alt-C \(dirs\).

Journey Context:
Fzf's basic fuzzy search is well known, but integrating it into shell history \(Ctrl-R\) and file navigation \(Ctrl-T\) saves enormous time. Many users only use it as a standalone pipe, missing these key bindings. The default command using \`find\` is slow; switching to \`fd\` gives near-instant results. This pattern is documented in fzf's README under 'key bindings for command line' and widely used in dotfiles.
