Navigate Results

Type to filter files using fuzzy search
Use Arrow Up / Arrow Down to move through results
Press Enter to open the selected file
Press Esc or Cmd+K / Ctrl+K to close

File Categories

Results are grouped and prioritized in this order:

Open — files currently open in editor tabs (marked with a blue badge)
Recent — recently visited files ordered by frecency (marked with a clock icon)
Other — remaining project files sorted alphabetically

Fuzzy Search

Quick Open uses fuzzy matching so you don't need to type exact file names:

Type utl to match utils.ts
Type appcss to match app/styles.css
Short queries (1–2 characters) require a substring match for precision

File Preview

When Quick Open Preview is enabled (Settings > Appearance), a preview pane appears on the right side showing the content of the currently selected file.

Hover over a file to preview it
Navigate with keyboard to update the preview automatically
Toggle the setting to hide the preview and get a narrower layout

Quick Open caches the project file index after the first open, so subsequent opens are instant. The index refreshes automatically when you switch projects.

Ignored Files

Quick Open automatically excludes files and directories that are not useful for navigation:
