E.g. usually files named similar to classes they contain, and I can select for example AppointmentUtil text and click cmd-p and fuzzy finder opens with AppointmentUtil text in search input, so I can just click enter and open file AppointmentUtil.ts . Otherwise have to use cmd-c => cmd-p => cmd-v or type it manually to achieve same.

Seconded on this; I end up doing a cmd-c,cmd-p,cmd-v at least a dozen times a day.

Would love to see this.

This issue can now be closed, you can achieve this by checking Prefill From Selection in the fuzzy-finder settings :+1:

Yesss, thanks for making this and for explaining it! Finally solved my problem trying to use atom's fuzzy finder with selected text! To save an extra potential google step for the next person:
