+fm
+===
+fm provides a gui to select an item from a list using a fuzzy matching algorithm.
+When an item is selected, it is sent to the plumber `send` port unless the `-p` option
+is used in which case the item name is printed on standard output and the application exits.
+
+
+
+Left-click an item to select it
+Right-click to activate the selected item
+
+Keyboard shortcuts:
+- Arrow up / down change selection
+- Enter activate selection
+- Page up / down scroll by one screen page
+- Home go to first item in the list
+- End go to last item in the list
+- Ctrl-U clears the input line
+- Esc clears the input line unless input is empty in which case it exits fm
+- Del to exit fm
+
+Usage:
+-------
+Install with usual ``mk install``
+Run: ``... | fm [-p]``
+
+The provided `b` script gives a usage example.
+
+Credits:
+---------
+The fuzzy matching algorithm has been ported from:
