Open fzf in tmux split pane

Usage

fzf-tmux [LAYOUT OPTIONS] [--] [FZF OPTIONS]

Overview

fzf-tmux is a wrapper script for fzf that opens fzf in a tmux split pane or in a tmux popup window. It is designed to work just like fzf except that it does not take up the whole screen. You can safely use fzf-tmux instead of fzf in your scripts as the extra options will be silently ignored if you're not on tmux.
