open a "gitignored" file?

[well1791]

Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a way to open an ignored file within the same directory either by using the search function SPC F or by autocomplete on the cli: :o ignored-file.ext

Ignored files don't show up in the file picker (<space>f) and aren't auto-completed in :open but you can open them my proving the full path to the file with :open path/to/file. You can also change the settings for which files are ignored for the file picker https://docs.helix-editor.com/master/configuration.html#editorfile-picker-section
