Navigation in search mode

[maximbaz]

In xplr repo folder, run $ touch s, then open xplr.
Say you want to navigate to the file called s, you press /s and you still see a lot of other files. How do you navigate to s?
Arrows work of course, I intutively tried to press $ (like a regex, to say that s is the last letter in the name), I tried to press PageDown and End and ArrowUp, but they do nothing.

Am I missing some trick? 🙂 Not sure about regex support, maybe an overkill for search, but at least PageDown and End we could add? With ArrowUp also not sure, sometimes I love when cursor wraps, sometimes I hate it 🙂

There are messages like starts with and ends with. You can probably match some characters and make them behave like regex. Let me know if you need help with the implementation.

PageDown would go one page (or often also half a page) down, like Ctrl+d/Ctrl+u in vim, End would go to the end like G does (you can't press G to go the end in search mode, so that's why I thought of End), wrapping is available in nnn so you can try there (open nnn and press arrow Up, it will go to the last file)

It seems useful in search mode, but conflicts with the default mode behavior. The search mode works more like fzf which doesn't have this feature, probably for a good reason.

I think I can make FocussPrevious and FocusNext specifically work like that, i.e. after max index, continue with 0. But both in default and search mode. What do you think?

[maximbaz]

Yeah makes sense to have consistency everywhere, lets do it!
