Find In Path With Navigation Bar
Use keyboard and Navigation Bar to find files under a path.
Need a fast way to find files in a path, without disrupting your flow?
Closed the Project Tool and need to find a file somewhere in the project tree? Activate the Navigation Bar, navigate to the target, and use Find in Path from the keyboard.
You want to find a file at a path in your project tree. But you've turned off the Project Tool. You could turn it back on, find the file, then turn it back off. But then you'll talk yourself into leaving it visible.
Use the Navigation Bar instead:
Activate the Navigation Bar with
Navigate -> Jump to Navigation Bar
(Alt-Home
Win/Linux,Cmd-Up
macOS)Use the cursor keys to get to the target directory
Speed search to select any subdirectories
Then, when your target is selected:
- Invoke
Find in Path
(Shift+Ctrl+F
Win/Lin,Shift+Cmd+F
on macOS) to bring up theFind in Path
dialog.
Just like you would in the Project Tool. Except, no permanent real estate lost and the Navigation Bar appears/disappears on command. All without touching the mouse.
