## What it is
Command-T is a Neovim plugin providing extremely fast fuzzy matching for opening files, buffers, tags, help, and commands with minimal keystrokes. It is a Lua rewrite of the classic Vim plugin, with a hand-crafted C matching algorithm optimized for speed and match ranking.

## Use cases
- fuzzy find and open files in Neovim
- switch between open buffers quickly
- jump to tags or help topics with few keystrokes
- rerun previous searches and commands
- open files in splits or tabs from a fuzzy matcher
- speed up file navigation in large codebases

## When to choose
- you use Neovim and want the fastest fuzzy file finder available
- you need high-quality, intuitive match ranking for file paths
- you work in large repositories where navigation speed matters
- you want to open files in splits or tabs with minimal typing

## When to avoid
- you use plain Vim rather than Neovim (the Lua rewrite requires Neovim)
- you prefer built-in or simpler fuzzy finders without a C extension
- you need a general-purpose IDE file search outside of Vim/Neovim
