.Nm
(Nnn's Not Noice) is a performance-optimized, feature-packed fork of noice (http://git.2f30.org/noice/) with seamless desktop integration, simplified navigation, \fInavigate-as-you-type\fR mode with auto select, disk usage analyzer mode, bookmarks, contexts, application launcher, familiar navigation shortcuts, subshell spawning and much more. It remains a simple and efficient file manager that stays out of your way.

Filters are strings to find matching entries in the current directory
instantly (\fIsearch-as-you-type\fR). There is a program option to switch to
regex filters. Matches are case-insensitive by default. In each context the
last filter is persisted at runtime or in saved sessions.
.Pp
To modify match criteria at runtime:
.br
- toggle between string and regex: press '/' at empty filter prompt
.br
- toggle case sensitivity: press ':' at empty filter prompt
Special keys at empty filter prompt:
.Pp
In each context the last filter is persisted at runtime or in saved
sessions, and can be accessed with '^L' at the empty filter prompt. It's
possible to change the match criteria and re-apply the last filter.
- toggle between string and regex: '/'

To edit the selection use the _edit selection_ key. Use this key to remove a file from selection after you navigate away from its directory. Editing doesn't end the selection mode.
