Here is a use case: I use fzf to search for a list of directories, which then used with the cd command:

cd $(fzf)

However, the fzf command only displays files, not directories. Is there a way to instruct fzf to select only directories?

Per my comment, you can generate a list of directories using find:

cd $(find . -type d -print | fzf)

You can adjust the find command to limit the depth of directories, or to only match directories with specific names, etc.

Generally, you're expected to use fzf as a filter, taking input from some external command.

I suggest to feed only directories to fzf's stdin:

cd "$(printf '%s\n' */ | fzf)"
