Re: What do you use for (fuzzy) file search?

Hi Romain,

your suggestion made me delete Telescope entirely! I am now solely
relying on your way of finding files. I find it more efficient as you
lovely described.

For the sake of sharing, here are mappings I added for myself:

nnoremap <leader><leader> :b *

Search in buffers only. Sometimes avoids using Tab when I have only a
bunch of files opened, e.g. let's suppose to have Avatar.tsx,
Avatar.test.tsx and more files in the project. I open only Avatar.tsx
and other files and <leader><leader>Avat<Enter> brings me directly to
the file without having to Tab through. Works even better when there are
many files with the same prefix in the project.

nnoremap <leader>fg :grep<space>

Grep stuff. Not much to add other than that <space> is necessary
otherwise you have to type it yourself everytime, and writing the literal
space character gets deleted by vim deleting trailing spaces by default.

nnoremap <leader><not-sure-what-to-use-here> :tab b *

This is only something I am considering adding. Maybe will use <leader>T
because I don't find myself using it a lot, but would like to remember
to.

Best,
