Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

For those who dont want to use fzf please add a new hot reload mechanism for fuzzy searching.
Also fzf doesn't support kitty-keyboard-protocol which creates a problem conflicting with my other shortcuts which I have been using for a long time.
So, I ended up not using fzf and instead relied on yazi + fd and hx . for searching files, but hx . does lets you get a file tree view so yazi is the only choice. And yazi + fd doesn't hot reload...

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

  • Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

when searching, instead of creating a new popup add a new textarea beside the current-directory (top left) for searching (using a new text color for the search text, would not be a bad idea)

Additional context

No response
