Apps & files
Find any app or file by name, or files by what's inside them.
Apps
Type part of an app's name. Matching is fuzzy, so vsc finds Visual Studio Code. ⌘ 1 lists every application, and ⌘ L switches between a grid and a list.
Running Apps lists what's open. ⌘ H hides the selected app.
Files
File names come from moo's own index, which stays current as files change, so results are instant. ⌘ 2 or Search Files searches files only, including words inside documents.
| Key | On a file |
|---|---|
| Return | Open |
| ⌘ Y | Quick Look |
| ⌘ R | Show in Finder |
| ⌘ O | Open with another app |
| ⌥ Return | Copy its path |
