Description

The Folder Navigator plugin improves how users move through their Obsidian vault by enabling quick, fuzzy search-based folder navigation. Instead of manually browsing through deep folder structures, users can instantly locate and jump to the desired folder with just a few keystrokes. The plugin supports expanding the target folder upon arrival, works seamlessly with nested structures, and offers control over the maximum number of displayed results.

Why Folder Navigator?

I really enjoy using Obsidian's file search feature, which allows us to quickly search for files and navigate to them. There are also third-party plugins that further enhance this experience.

However, I need to navigate to folders in a similar way. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a method to do this, either by using Obsidian's official features or third-party plugins. That's why I'm developing this plugin to achieve that. It allows you to navigate to folders just as you can when navigating to files.
