Fast Fuzzy Finder

Fast Fuzzy Finder is a VS Code extension prototype that remaps Cmd+Shift+F / Ctrl+Shift+F to a workspace-wide fuzzy search surface inspired by WebStorm's

Installation

Fast Fuzzy Finder on VSCode Marketplace

Through .vsix file

  1. Go to Releases
  2. Download .vsix file
  3. In VSCode: cmd+shift+p "Extensions: Install from VSIX..."

What it does

  • Sub 10ms fuzzy search powered by fff.nvim
  • Opens a dedicated search panel on Cmd+Shift+F / Ctrl+Shift+F
  • Fuzzy-matches file paths
  • Scans indexed text files for line matches
  • Shows a bottom preview pane with surrounding context
  • Opens the selected result on Enter or double-click

Current limitations

  • VS Code does not expose a true centered modal extension API, so this is implemented as a modal-styled webview panel in the editor area.
  • Content search is done against an in-memory index of text files up to a size budget, so very large or binary files fall back to path-only matches.

Development

npm install
npm run compile

npm run compile now builds both the TypeScript extension and the bundled Rust fff sidecar for the current platform. For iterative frontend work, npm run watch still only recompiles the TypeScript sources; if you change the Rust bridge, rerun npm run build:native.
