The command "ytfzf --trending --ext-menu ${search_pattern}" is used to search for trending YouTube videos based on a provided search pattern in the terminal using the "ytfzf" tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "ytfzf": It is the name of the tool or command-line program that allows searching and playing YouTube videos within the terminal.
  • "--trending": This flag is used to specify that the search should be limited to trending videos on YouTube.
  • "--ext-menu": This flag enables an extended menu mode that shows additional options for the selected video, such as opening it in a browser, copying its URL, or downloading it.
  • "${search_pattern}": This is a placeholder for the search pattern or query you want to search for. You need to replace "${search_pattern}" with your desired search term.

By executing this command with a valid search pattern, the "ytfzf" tool will search for trending YouTube videos matching the given query and present an extended menu with options for the selected video.
