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.
