Searching is powered by Helix's Nucleo, and some fzf-esque search syntax works here:

Token	Description
`sbt`	Items that match `sbt`, for example `serbian-bear-tinker`
`'wild`	Items that must include `wild`
`.mp3$`	Items that end with `.mp3`

Search terms can be separated by space, which means AND, and their order is unimportant.

For example, the search query stb 'wild matches wild-serbian-bear-tiger and also stubbornly_wild.

Because every component is a buffer/editor, fuzzy search logic is also used for filtering LSP completions.

Keybinding	Action
`e`	Reveal current file in file explorer
`z`	Opens the Undo Tree ¹
