Problem

Need fast fuzzy search for files, text, commands, history, and Git state inside the editor.

Why This Choice

• Strong search primitives with mature ecosystem support.
• Works well as a central command palette for daily development flow.

Current Usage

• File search: find_files, git_files, oldfiles.
• Text search: live_grep, grep_string.
• Git views: git_status, git_commits, git_bcommits, git_branches.
• LSP discovery: references, symbols, type definitions.

Keybindings in Use

• Space f f: find files.
• Space f w: live grep.
• Space f o: old files.
• Space g s: Git status.
• Space g l: Git commits.

Caveats

• Preview and indexing behavior may need tuning for very large repositories.

Removal Criteria

• If search latency or workflow friction becomes persistent compared to alternatives, replace with a faster picker stack.
