Tito is now faster with fuzzy search! :)

Familiar with the file finder on emacs/vim/textmate/sublime-text?
You can now type in abstract characters from the menu item to find it.
appcan = Apply Canvas
gablr = Gaussian Blur
shgr = Show grid
jgs = Jigsaw
drpsh = Drop Shadow
...
I'll leave the rest to your creativity and imagination :)
[of course, you can still type in the name fully if you want to]
