There’d have to be some more change codes and/or arguments for the up/down keys along with modifiers. Allowing override of Tab gets in the way of the normal focus movement on Tab/Shift+Tab.

The in-progress filter strip supports regular expressions like the find and replace strips so you can search for starts-with and ends-with using the start and end word matchers “\<“ and “\>”.
Fuzzy finding seems to imply reordering as well as selection. Filtering in Scintilla is just hiding lines and it would be more difficult to reorder the lines. The text could be copied and just the best matches displayed but that’s a heavier operation, not just a restricted view.
