Space-f
lets you open a file in the current workspace, and:open /path
always let's you open any file on the computerPlugin support not yet I think. Not gonna lie, I chose helix over nvim for it's good out of the box experience, so I didn't actually have a need for plugins yet.
Fair enough. That would be a use case for a plugin (or simply a setting!)
Is this a file tree, or just a fuzzy finder?
Fuzzy finders aren't a substitute for a file tree picker. They're only great, until you don't know the name of a file, or until you need to know of a file's existence in the first place.
~~File tree~~ not a file tree like in a file explorer, more like the output of
find
, but with filtering. The letters you type to restrict your search only need to present in that order in the file path, not as a string.So "abc" would match "./assets/others/abort/cancel.png", not just "./assets/abc.png"
Additionally, lower case letters match case insensitive, upper case letters match case sensitive. This is surprisingly helpful if you don't use exclusively lowercase file names.
