Maybe there is a tool that does that? Maybe I'm doing this all wrong and there is a different way I should browse?

Looks like no one has mentioned this yet. So I'll be the FZF champion in this thread.

The ZSH plugin for FZF gives you a few commands that use the fuzzy search to find files by name, keyword in content etc.

It could be very easy to add something like that for your use case where you can use and you pick the file name from the output and it automatically cd's into the selected file's directory.
