+## [0.2.6] - 2026-04-04
+
+### Added
+- Incremental filter workflow (`/`) with contextual Enter behavior:
+  - Directories navigate in-place
+  - Files open the app menu
+- File visibility toggle (`a`) to switch between directories-only and mixed view
+- Open-with app menu (`o`) with arrow-key selection (`↑`/`↓`, `Enter`, `Esc`)
+- New opener support for `nano`, `less`, and `bat` for file actions
+- Blocking terminal app execution with UI state restore after exit
+
+### Improved
+- Open-with options are now context-aware (GUI/headless, file/directory) and only shown when executables are available
+- Better handling of paths containing spaces when launching openers
+- Extended README with full controls reference and platform compatibility guidance
+
 ## [0.2.5] - 2026-04-03

 - ⌨️ Fully keyboard-driven workflow (`↑` / `↓` / `←` / `→`)
 - 🌲 Expand and collapse directories (`→` to expand/enter, `←` to collapse/back)
 - 📜 Navigation history inside the session (`h` history mode, `b` back, `f` forward)
-- ⚡ Returns the selected path to the shell (`Enter` to confirm, `Esc` to cancel)
+- 🔎 Incremental filter mode (`/`, type to filter, `Backspace`, `Esc`)
-- 🔎 Press `.` to toggle hidden directories
+- 📄 Toggle file visibility (`a`) to switch between directories-only and mixed view
+- ⚡ Fast jumps in large lists (`PgUp`/`PgDn`, `Home`/`End`, `g`/`G` in normal mode)
+- 🚀 Contextual `open with` menu (`o`) with app detection based on your environment
+- 🔁 Blocking terminal editors restore the UI state when they exit (`nvim`, `nano`, `less`, `bat`)
+- 👀 Toggle hidden entries with `.`
 - 🖥 Native terminal interface
 - 🔁 Works with Bash, Zsh and other shells
-- 🚀 Fast visual navigation of directory trees
+- ⚡ Returns the selected path to the shell (`Enter` to confirm, `Esc` to cancel)
+
+## Controls
+
+Normal mode:
+
+- `↑` / `↓`: Move selection
+- `→`: Expand directory, or enter when already expanded
+- `←`: Collapse directory, or go to parent
+- `Enter`: Confirm selected path and exit
+- `Esc`: Cancel and return the original path
+- `h`: Toggle history mode
+- `b` / `f`: Back / forward in navigation history
+- `.`: Toggle hidden entries
+- `a`: Toggle file visibility
+- `/`: Enter filter mode
+- `o`: Open selected entry with an app
+- `PgUp` / `PgDn`: Page jump
+- `Home` / `End`: Jump to first/last entry
+- `g` / `G`: Jump to first/last entry
+
+Filter mode:
+
+- Type text: Filter visible entries in real time (case-insensitive)
+- `↑` / `↓`: Move inside filtered results
+- `Enter`: Apply filter and perform contextual action:
+  - Directory: navigate into it without exiting `cd_`
+  - File: open app selection menu
+- `Esc`: Exit filter mode and clear query
+- `Backspace`: Remove last filter character
+
+History mode:
+
+- `↑` / `↓`: Move through history entries
+- `Enter`: Jump to selected history path
+- `Esc` or `h`: Exit history mode
+- `PgUp` / `PgDn`, `Home` / `End`: Fast history navigation
+
+Open with menu (`o`):
+
+- `↑` / `↓`: Move between app options
+- `Enter`: Launch selected app
+- `Esc`: Cancel
+
+The menu only shows apps available in your system (`PATH`) and context:
+
+- GUI options (when GUI is available): `code`, system `open`/`xdg-open`
+- Terminal options: `antigravity`, `nvim`, `nano`, `less`, `bat` (as applicable)
