Searching the file list

When viewing a large list of files, it's often useful to hide items whose name doesn't match a particular word or letter sequence.

To search the focused file browser by name:

  1. Click in the search field

  2. Begin typing your search term

As you type each letter, the file list will be pruned to show only matching files.

To go back to showing all files, click in the search field.
