Here are two more scripts. Both are building interactive menus and preview the content of the file/description in a small window while live searching. woman is a man explorer and yayqp is description explorer of installed packages. I’m not the greatest at naming stuff.^^

yayqp:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

yay_preview() {
	yay -Qqil "${1}"
}

export -f yay_preview

yay_preview_output() {
	yay_preview "${1}" | less
	echo "\$ yay -Qqi ${1}"
	yay -Qqi "${1}"
}

export -f yay_preview_output

yay -Qq |
	grep -E -- "${1}" |
	fzf --preview 'yay_preview {}' \
		--no-sort \
		--reverse \
		--border rounded \
		--border-label ' [Query Packages] ' \
		--bind 'enter:execute(yay_preview_output {})'

woman:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# Lookup section meaning in `man man`.
sections='1,8,6,5,7'

show_manual () {
    man -- "${1%% *}" 2> /dev/null
}
export -f show_manual

if selection=$(man -k . --sections="${sections}" \
               | sort -t ' ' -k 2,2 -k 1,1 \
               | fzf -q "${*}" \
                     --cycle \
                     --border=none \
                     --bind change:first \
                     --bind tab:down \
                     --bind shift-tab:up \
                     --bind esc:cancel+clear-selection \
                     --tiebreak=begin,chunk,length \
                     --reverse \
                     --preview='show_manual {}' \
                     --preview-window=down:70%:wrap:border-rounded)
then
    show_manual "${selection}"
