Features

Easily copy/paste file paths.

Easily access hidden files and folders.

Fast filesystem navigation through path completion and suggestion popups.

Search Mode: Enter filenames to search the current directory. Way more reliable than Finders "find as you type".

Wildcard support: Type *.pdf to select all pdf files in the current folder.

Open terminal in current directory by keypress.

No Bloatware: Doesn't get in your way until you activate it, and stays in background if you don't.

A word of warning: I explicitly tag this app Beta. Most stuff is working, but use it at your own risk and PLEASE REPORT BUGS!
