Alternatives to the :edit command to open files (and folders) faster?

I want to open files qucikly without typing in :edit filepath. Ideally a file picker list where I can navigate folders and pick either a folder or file, and fuzzy searching like with fzf.

How about neo-tree? There are many plugins that achieve similar goals.

Fuzzy file picking using fzf in particular is implemented in quark.nvim (disclaimer: I’m the author). There are some more featureful plugins that include similar functionality, e.g. telescope (linked to from the quark.nvim README). For quark, you will also need to load the fzf repo as a plugin (not the fzf.vim one, just the basic repo). If you have any trouble with it, don’t hesitate to shoot an email/post to my public inbox.
