Allow for find file search to be on the page
Proposal
Allow users to search for a file directly on the page instead of navigating to a separate "find file" page.
The idea to open the search on the current page is to maintain current context rather than navigating to an entirely different page to perform a search.
To do we will leverage the existing project file search that is invoked from the left navigation.
- On click of "Find file", open project file search
- this equivalent to the keyboard shortcut
//
- this equivalent to the keyboard shortcut
- On hover, we display a tooltip
- Text: "Go to file, press
//
ort
" - The rationale for "t" is that is existing keyboard shortcut for "find file"
- Text: "Go to file, press
Hover tooltip | header |
---|---|
![]() |

For the search to be more useful in context of navigating the repository, the search should be context aware of the current directory.
Next iteration: Fuzzy finder search should have path prefilled (#22426 - closed)
