Click the ⚙️ button in the status bar to switch instantly.\n\n### Search basics\n\nCardinal now speaks an Everything-compatible syntax layer on top of the classic substring/prefix tricks:\n\n- `report draft` – space acts as `AND`, so you only see files whose names contain both tokens.\n- `*.pdf briefing` – filter to PDF results whose names include “briefing”.\n- `*.zip size:\u003e100MB` – search for ZIP files larger than 100MB.\n- `in:/Users demo !.psd` – restrict the search root to `/Users`, then search for files whose names contain `demo` but exclude `.psd`.\n- `tag:ProjectA;ProjectB` – match Finder tags (macOS); `;` acts as `OR`.\n- `*.md content:\"Bearer \"` – filter to Markdown files containing the string `Bearer `.\n- `\"Application Support\"` – quote exact phrases.\n- `brary/Applicat` – use `/` as a path separator for sub-path searching, matching directories like `Library/Application Support`.\n- `/report` · `draft/` · `/report/` – wrap tokens with leading and/or trailing slashes to force **prefix**, **suffix**, or **exact** name matches when you need whole-word control beyond Everything syntax.\n- `~/**/.DS_Store` – globstar (`**`) dives through every subfolder under your home directory to find stray `.DS_Store` files anywhere in the tree.\n\nFor the supported operator catalog—including boolean grouping, folder scoping, extension filters, regex usage, and more examples—see [`doc/search-syntax.md`](doc/search-syntax.md).\n\n### Keyboard shortcuts \u0026 previews\n\n- `Cmd+Shift+Space` – toggle the Cardinal window globally via the quick-launch hotkey.\n- `Cmd+,` – open Preferences.\n- `Esc` – hide the Cardinal window.\n- `ArrowUp`/`ArrowDown` – move the selection.\n- `Shift+ArrowUp`/`Shift+ArrowDown` – extend the selection.\n- `Space` – Quick Look the currently selected row without leaving Cardinal.\n- `Cmd+O` – open the highlighted result.\n- `Cmd+R` – reveal the highlighted result in Finder.\n- `Cmd+C` – copy the selected files to the clipboard.\n- `Cmd+Shift+C` – copy the selected paths to the clipboard.\n- `Cmd+F` – jump focus back to the search bar.\n- `ArrowUp`/`ArrowDown` (in search bar) – cycle search history.\n\nHappy searching!\n\n---\n\n## Building Cardinal\n\n### Requirements\n\n- macOS 12+\n- Rust toolchain\n- Node.js 18+ with npm\n- Xcode command-line tools \u0026 Tauri prerequisites (\u003chttps://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/\u003e)\n\n### Development mode\n\n```bash\ncd cardinal\nnpm run tauri dev -- --release --features dev\n```\n\n### Production build\n\n```bash\ncd cardinal\nnpm run tauri build\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcardisoft%2Fcardinal","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcardisoft%2Fcardinal","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcardisoft%2Fcardinal/lists"}
