telescope.nvim

another solution for fuzzy finding is telescope.nvim https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim the thing i like the most about it is the amount of plugins you can add (including things like looking at nvim's paste ring).

I too share your sentiment about VS Code. Its extension API[0] is extensive and approachable, often with examples[1] for each API. Just a small anecdote: At work, I found it frustrating not being able to quickly locate where views for Django API endpoints were, so I wrote a simple extension that took the output of django-extensions' show_urls, parsed it, and displayed a quick pick list of all API endpoints, upon which selecting an endpoint would open the file and reveal the exact line in which the view for it was defined. Implementing this did not take much effort (in fact, TypeScript and JSDoc make everything a lot simpler as it's clear to see what each function in the API does and what arguments they accept), and now this is something I use almost every day and greatly improves my satisfaction when navigating the codebase if not my prod

I use that "text-based finder" approach _everywhere_: - Telescope in NeoVim (https://github.com/nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim) - The "Actions" (Cmd-Shift-A) and "Find Anything" (Shift-Shift) shortcuts in IntelliJ - Alfred on my work macbook - KRunner on my personal linux laptop (with KDE) - The `t` shortcut on github to jump to files - the `!` "bang" shortcuts on DuckDuckGo I have the hardcore vim brainworms of "don't make me touch the mouse", and in _spades_ if that mouse is a laptop trackpad. I haven't found a good equivalent on Windows, not because they don't exist, but because they're all focused on trying to do everything _bu
