Description
When you have multiple dirs, you can reach your destination much faster using the following method ( I implemented it in my config for vim-netranger plugin so I know :) ) :
It will look something like that. You press key to start fuzzy-search* files in current directory. As you type it will display only the files/directories that match the search.
You should have mappings that either->
- set as root your current selection and start fuzzy search in this directory .
- go back to previous fuzzy search
- open the file of course
(optionally expanding all subtree could be nice too).
I didn't check the api , but I know I don't want to implement this myself again as this is tricky.
PS
I might be able to upload a gif.
*(non-fuzzy is possible but a bit lame)

Research direction
No implementation files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating nvim-tree's existing navigation and key-mapping code, then investigate the available fuzzy-search API; the work is done when the proposed search, root-selection, backtracking, and file-opening mappings are implemented and tested.
