    From the README

    FFF stands for freakin fast fuzzy file finder (pick 3) and it is an opinionated fuzzy file picker for neovim. Just for files, but we'll try to solve file picking completely.

    It comes with a dedicated rust backend runtime that keep tracks of the file index, your file access and modifications, git status, and provides a comprehensive typo-resistant fuzzy search experience.
