If you don’t have a file open, clicking the Explorer button will show you a list of files in the project’s home directory. If you are working on a file, clicking Explorer will show a list of files in the directory containing the selected file.

Toward the top of the window is the Search bar. It includes a search box to allow you to filter the list of displayed files, a New button for creating a file, the path and directory whose files are displayed, and a mini-terminal text area for entering a short Terminal command to be run by the linux shell.
