Yep, real time fuzzy finding makes it so easy to find stuff quickly.

You can hit CTRL+t from the terminal after installing FZF and it will let you fuzzy search for any file you have. So you can do something like run `vim [CTRL+t]` to quickly find and open any file you want, or `cd [CTRL+t]` to switch into some deeply nested directory.

Even inside of WSL 2 with a 6 year old workstation on a first generation SSD it takes ~3 seconds to index 190,000 files and once that index is built, narrowing down results while typing is close to instant when using ripgrep as FZF's search back-end.

The amazing thing about all of this is it's dynamic. There's no having to create aliases or pre-defined directory structures. I only discovered CTRL+t from FZF a few weeks ago but once I did it was almost as good as discovering CTRL+r for the first time.
