🧠 Why Use QuickPath?

"I just want to create src/components/Auth/Login.jsx — why so many clicks?"

QuickPath eliminates the friction. Whether you're starting a new project or adding new components, you'll save time, stay focused, and feel like a productivity ninja. 🥷

🚀 Advanced Query Feature

The Advanced Query feature allows you to create multiple files or folders in one go with powerful syntax.

📁 Folder Creation with Spaces:

  • Use space to create nested folders. Example:
    • src bro a.txt → creates src/bro/a.txt

✨ Creating Multiple Files/Folders (Siblings):

  • Use + or & to create multiple sibling files/folders.
  • Make sure to add space before and after the operators + and &.
    • Example:
      • src bro a.txt + b.html & c.css
      • Creates:
        • src/bro/a.txt
        • src/bro/b.html
        • src/bro/c.css
  • Note: + and & can be used interchangeably.

🔙 Navigating Backwards:

  • Use .. (with spaces before and after) to navigate up a directory.
    • Example: src bro .. a.txt → creates a.txt in the parent directory of bro.

💡 Best Practices for Avoiding Mistakes:

  • Create a full branch first, then add more branches. Example:
    • /my-node-backend-project → root directory
      • /config → child directory
      • /controllers → another child directory
      • config db.js & server.js .. controllers userController.js + authController.js

⚡️ Quick Tips:

  • Don't use: src bro a.txt+b.html&c.css (incorrect format).
  • Always use spaces before and after +, &, and ...

With these simple rules, the Advanced Query feature of QuickPath makes creating files and folders a breeze. Happy coding! 😎
