Quick Open & Jump Palette

Once you have more than a handful of worktrees, navigation becomes the bottleneck. Orca ships two keyboard-first navigation tools.

Quick Open (Cmd-P)

File search scoped to the current worktree. Type a fragment; Orca ranks by recency plus match score and opens the file in a new editor tab. Gitignored files are included in results — they're surfaced as a second pass after tracked matches, so the files you frequently quick-open (build outputs, env files) stay reachable without polluting the top of the list.

Worktree Jump Palette (Cmd-J)

Jump across every worktree and every tab in one search. The placeholder in the empty input reads repo/worktree — type either half and Orca filters accordingly. Once you start typing, search includes non-archived worktrees even if they are hidden by the sidebar's current filters.

Results include:

• Recent Worktrees — the top section with an empty query, ordered by last focus, capped so the list stays scannable.
• Every worktree grouped by repo once you start typing.
• Every open tab, scoped first by current worktree, then globally.

Shift-Enter on a worktree opens it in a new split instead of swapping the current pane.

When the query does not match an existing worktree, the palette offers a Create worktree row using the typed text as the name. Existing matches stay selected first, so pressing Enter still jumps when a real result is available.
