Description

Config: "editor.fullScreenOnStart": true OS: Windows 10 Home Oni version: 0.3.1

PC:

  • RAM: 8GB
  • CPU: Intel i5-6300 HQ @ 2.3GHz
  • Storage: TOSHIBA MQ02ABD100H (SSHD, SSD Hybrid)

When I'm trying to perform global search (Ctrl-F) it stars working really hard and in a couple seconds whole UI frezes with blank main area and only header menu visible. After this whole PC is freezed and I can't do anything except rebooting it. Looks like this can be related to the number of files in the working directory.

Research direction
The issue describes a freeze during global search, likely related to file count. First, verify if the issue is still reproducible with the latest version. Then, investigate the global search implementation in Oni's source code (likely in the frontend or Neovim integration). Look for potential memory or CPU bottlenecks when iterating over a large number of files. The comments may provide additional clues.
