Tested with Emacs 29.1

Typing any printable character moves cursor with incremental search. Supported modes:

  • For Dired File manager - Modern navigation like in Thunar, Delphin, Windows and MacOS file managers.

  • For Package Menu - fast search in package names.

  • For Buffer Menu - fast selection of buffer by name.

This is minor mode for Emacs text editor. No external dependencies required.

Pay attention, standard keys: i, k, d, m is rebinded to M- and C-M- prefix, by default. You may rebind manually.

  • disable itself in Editable Dired mode (wdired-mode).
