Description

Feature Summary

Add quick file search functionality accessible via Cmd+P (macOS) / Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux) to search and open files by name.

Problem or Use Case

Currently there's no fast way to jump to a file by name in the editor. Users familiar with VS Code, Sublime Text, or other editors expect to quickly navigate to files using a keyboard shortcut.

Proposed Solution

  • Press Cmd+P (Ctrl+P on Windows/Linux) to open a fuzzy file search dialog
  • Search by file name with fuzzy matching
  • Show matching files as user types
  • Navigate results with arrow keys, Enter to open the selected file
  • Escape to close the dialog

Alternatives Considered

Using the file explorer to manually navigate to files, but this is slow for large codebases.

Additional Context

This is a standard feature in modern code editors and would significantly improve navigation speed within workspaces.
