Feature Request - File Path Auto Complete

[mogwai]

Would it be possible to add a path/file complete or suggestion of the search? Could be similar to the current cmd+P (Mac) shortcut that allows for searching files within the workspace.

Perhaps even a Tab tab auto complete to meet the nearest matched name.

Hi @lengk!

Unfortunately does the InputBox not support autocomplete yet. We could use a QuickPick box instead but that would mean we would have to "hack" it because we need to supply the list of available options right from the beginning. The only way we could do that is by first recursively inspecting the whole tree before showing the QuickPick box.

I would really love to have auto complete though. It has been a frequently requested feature.

Cheers,
Dominik

@dkundel is @microsoft's vscode team aware of this trouble?

[dkundel]

Jep there have been multiple issues before if I recall correctly.
