Yeah, we don't match on directories since the regex would overmatch other results (we would basically have to match anything that is words with a slash). However if we added support for checking for file / directory existence we could definitely add support for that

I think if you added the ability to traverse directories, that would take this tool to the next level. I kind of expected the tool to be similar to NERD Tree or Vim's explorer, which would be incredibly useful.

Don't forget about mc (midnight commander). Which is still hella useful

Sounds like something I should give a try myself in a pull request.
