    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • You can try getting https://github.com/junegunn/fzf and aliasing ls/dir to pipe into fuzzy finder. It's not got vim bindings by default (I think?) though. It does have text filter, which is super useful for huge dirs with similar filenames.

  • It's also trivial to set up something like https://github.com/charmbracelet/gum to get you some CLI lists, though I'm not sure if it supports vim keys either. I made one for myself that predates gum but this one shouldn't have the edge cases that mine does obviously.
