Haha, off-by-one pixel error!

I still see MacOS as the best choice for my desktop/laptop uses (browser and SSH), but I also have a documents folder that I’ve accumulated over decades. I still use various .txt files in the docs folder as my low tech note taking apps.

I use the Spotlight or Alfred keyboard shortcuts (that also use spotlight index?) for quickly opening the files when needed - and annoyingly my most important file - notes.txt - regularly disappears from the Spotlight index and suggestions. It’s been like that for at least 5 years, probably closer to 10. I’m not even trying anymore, will just open the file from command line with vi as the fallback step.

Funnily enough a simple fgrep is super fast on SSDs and actually reliable. Even across TBs of data.

With Spotlight you can never be sure. And to be fair, the Windows equivalent sucks just as much.

Yeah I sometimes use ripgrep for this. It’s suspiciously fast!
