Files, search, and previews

The Explorer shows the active project's files with familiar file icons and Git decorations. A modified tracked file opens as a diff against HEAD. Clean and untracked files open in the editor.

• Create, rename, duplicate, and move files or folders.
• Move deletions to the macOS Trash after confirmation.
• Reveal a file in Finder or copy its full or relative path.
• Drag a file from Explorer onto a supported agent session as an attachment.

Press ⌘P and type the parts of a file name or path that you remember. Enter opens a reusable preview. ⌘Enter keeps the file open in its own tab.

Press ⌘P again while the palette is open to search every project already open in Tortie. Add a line number, such as :412, to open the file at that line.

Right-click a file or folder for actions that belong to that selection. Local files can open in Tortie, the default macOS app, or another compatible app. You can also create entries, rename, duplicate, reveal in Finder, copy paths, or move local items to Trash.

Right-click an editor tab to close one or several tabs, keep a reusable preview open, copy its path, or reveal the file in Finder. A single click normally uses one reusable preview tab; double-clicking the tab or editing the file keeps it open.

• Use ⇧⌘F to search file contents with ripgrep.
• Use ⇧⌘O to search symbols in the current file.
• Prefix a Quick Open query with # to search symbols across the project.
• Use F4 and ⇧F4 to move between results.

Content search supports case-sensitive, whole-word, and regular-expression modes.

Right-click a result to open a preview or new tab, copy one matching line or every match in a file, and copy the full or relative path.

Use ⌘E to show or hide the editor and ⌘S to save. Markdown, HTML, images, and other supported formats open in purpose-built previews.
