Advanced incremental search:
- Ignore by default directories like target, node_modules, classes, most of files and directories specified in .gitignore
- No separate search window, filter the table directly
- Easy expressions like */.java and <5d (or */ & .java & < 5 days): All Java files last modified less than 5 days ago
- Support for regular expressions in search
- When searching for text, only searches in text files
- You can navigate directories and open the first found file from the search field
- Search for Git files based on status like <git_changed> or <git_conflict>
Advanced directory navigation:
- Alt + single click (or mouse wheel click): go to the sub-directories
- Also skips directories with only 1 sub-directory (like src/com/mycompany/myproject/ will go from src to myproject directly)
- History ignore directories when you stay less than 1.5 second in it
Quick view for code
- Code is editable
- Syntax highlight for many languages
- Easily open file in project based on selection or clipboard content
