Same thing with Emacs with Projectile.

I can't believe people still using a tree view of a deeply nested project and clicking though directories and finally finding a file.

I am not willing to type more than a few characters for any file in the project. Fuzzy finding with quick narrowing FTW.

What I really want is orderless[1] searching of my vterm shell history. That would be a game changer.

I've seen a number of projects with hundreds of "index.js" files.

fzf includes the path in your match. So, unless the directories also have unpractical names, this typically won’t be a problem.

Learning for me: Brew suggests to install the shortcuts but doesn’t automatically do this. Just activated this and Ctrl-R is a big improvement this way.

So you type a few more characters and narrow it down. Space separated snippets will match any part of the path.
