Filters support regexes to instantly (search-as-you-type) list the matching entries in the current directory.
There are 3 ways to reset a filter:
- pressing <kbd>^L</kbd> (at the new/rename prompt <kbd>^L</kbd> followed by <kbd>Enter</kbd> discards all changes and exits prompt)
- a search with no matches
- an extra backspace at the filter prompt (like vi)
Ways to exit filter prompt:
- press <kbd>^L</kbd> to clear filter followed by <kbd>Bksp</kbd> (to clear the filter symbol, like vi)
- at other prompts <kbd>^L</kbd> followed by <kbd>Enter</kbd> discards all changes and exits prompt
- run a search with no matches and press <kbd>Enter</kbd>
Common use cases:
- to list all matches starting with the filter expression, start the expression with a `^` (caret) symbol
