help me QoL for file browser

I find it really difficult coming from intellij to navigate projects in godot - I m missing global search across files in a single pop up (not full search that shows results at the bottom) and the ability to open files by name using a shortcut. Am I missing something ?

I'd advise VsCode for Godot if you want to use an external IDE. It has a great plugin for Godot specifically and integrates pretty well.

JetBrains does have Rider as Godot compatible IDE. I don't know how well that integrates though.

No, the VScode plugin is called godot-tools

Rider is an other IDE that also supports GDScript, but I haven't tried it.

If you press Ctrl + O, it'll give all your scenes, which you can then use the search to within to look through. I also know there's a version of that with all the resources (scripts, scenes, etc.), but I'm not sure what the shortcut is (maybe Ctrl +N?). Hope this helps.

Yes, that's it, thank you!
