CLI tools to quickly find recently opened files by fuzzy search?

Are there any CLI tools like zoxide that allow to quickly find recently opened files by fuzzy search instead of directories?

fzf? https://github.com/junegunn/fzf

Out of the box, would only help searching shell commands that have been run, so for files, things like “vim file.txt”, which is obviously not usually how files are edited (you’d use the file browser in a text editor or IDE)

However if you find a way to list all files on your system by modified time, you can pipe it to fzf for a slick fuzzy find search.

Maybe ag would work here too: https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher
