M-x helm-find-files

M-x helm-recentf

M-x helm-buffers-list

cf) The line at the very bottom is not part of Emacs. It is tmux status bar 😉

Pre-requisites

1. A font from icons-in-terminal which unifies many useful fonts. Follow the instruction found there.
2. An icons-in-terminal.el package. Put the elisp files in a directory where load-path locates

(require 'icons-in-terminal-helm)
(icons-in-terminal-helm-enable)

;; Add key bindings for helm functions if you wish 😄
