Ctrl+P for frecency fuzzy-find. Ctrl+Shift+F for ripgrep across the tree. A command palette that surfaces every action. Tabs, dual pane, chord bindings. Minimal chrome by default — turn things on as you need them.
Most file managers fall into two camps: polished and crippled (Finder, Explorer) or spartan and punishing (Ranger, lf, Midnight Commander). Tauri Explorer borrows from the one place that actually figured keyboard-driven navigation out — the IDE.
Ctrl+P to fuzzy-open any file in the tree, ranked by how often and how recently you touched it. Ctrl+Shift+F to ripgrep the tree for content. A command palette for every action, rebindable, with chord sequences.
The Rust backend handles directory listing, search, and thumbnails, so 10k-file directories don’t choke the UI. Everything else — chrome, sidebars, columns — is off by default and toggleable. Turn on what you need.
Dual-pane navigation with the quick-open palette floated over an active selection.
Fuzzy-find any file in the tree. Frecency ranks what you actually touch above what you once opened.
Ripgrep across the tree. Same shortcut as VS Code, same speed.
Every action reachable. Rebindable. Chord bindings like g h to home, g r to root.
Ctrl+T, Ctrl+W. Restore closed tabs. New windows inherit context from the last focused one.
Ctrl+\. Draggable split. Every op can target either side. Drag, copy, symlink between them.
Details, List, Tiles. Virtual scrolling for 10k+ files. Progressive thumbnails. Per-directory column preferences.
Copy, move, rename, bulk rename, trash, ZIP compress/extract, symlinks, undo/redo. Paste images from clipboard.
Editable with path autocomplete. Chevron pickers browse subdirectories without navigating. Type-ahead to jump by name.
8 built-in themes. Drop a .css in ~/.config/tauri-explorer/themes and it loads. Background opacity, wallpaper, zoom.
Save and restore layouts. Sidebar bookmarks with drag-to-add and reorder. Every preference survives restarts.
