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:

1. Open — files currently open in editor tabs (marked with a blue badge)
2. Recent — recently visited files ordered by frecency (marked with a clock icon)
3. 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

Ignored Files

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

• Build output: dist/, build/, out/, .next/
• Dependencies: node_modules/, target/
• Lock files: bun.lockb, yarn.lock, Cargo.lock
• Generated files: *.map, *.min.js, *.min.css
• VCS: .git/

If a file is missing

Confirm the active project, clear the query and check ignored files. Quick Open matches names, not file contents. Use Search for text inside files and Editing for tab and save actions.
