fzf #3089

Open aloispichler opened 1 year ago

It would be nice to have a fzf (fuzzy file finder) like behavior when typing few letters of the desired file. At the moment, nemo’s result is often unexpected when typing letters (it allows only starting letters).

Thanks! BTW: I use nemo because it allows searching the content of files. Thanks for that killing feature.

Duplicate of https://github.com/linuxmint/nemo/issues/2660, but I'd like to have this feature as well.

Currently nemo searches for files containing the search string - not just the initial characters.

I think this issue is not about the search functionality, but the file selection that you can do by just typing characters.

E.g. you have a list of folders:

foobar
foobaz
foolol

It would be nice if you could just type lol and nemo selects the foolol folder so that you can just hit return to go into that subdir.
