Description

I really like that in NERDTree it's just a buffer, so I can hit / and search for text in it to move the cursor there quicker. I miss this in File Explorer, where I feel more limited in that sense.

(for now I can still use NERDTree after hiding File Explorer)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the File Explorer buffer implementation in Oni and determine how to enable Neovim's built in search (/, ?) within that buffer. Look at how NERDTree achieves this for reference.
