File Picker

Fuzzy Finder

Press Ctrl+P to open the fuzzy finder. Type to filter Markdown files by name:

leaf        # Opens fuzzy finder directly

The fuzzy finder scans the current directory recursively for .md files and ranks matches by relevance.

Pass a directory as argument to scope the picker to that location:

leaf ./docs/
leaf --picker ./docs/

Press Shift+P or use the --picker flag:

leaf --picker
leaf --picker ./docs/

Navigate directories with arrow keys and select files with Enter.

Configure the file picker width in ~/.config/leaf/config.toml:

file-picker-width = "75%"

The value accepts either a percentage of the terminal width ("75%") or an absolute column count (80). If unset, leaf uses a sensible default.
