File completion #445
Description
Feature Description
I purpose having file completion when writing a string that starts with "./" or '/' for Unix-like platforms and @"[A-Z]:[\\\/]" (regex) or @".[\\\/]" (regex) for windows platforms. This will help typing out long file paths accurately for the use of processing their data.
Example, the █ character is the cursor:
> Environment.CurrentDirectory
"/home/dovenchiko/FileTest"
> string str = ("./█
And the directory structure:
FileTest/
├── folder1/
│ ├── are
│ ├── beans
│ └── good
├── folder2/
│ └── the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
├── bar
└── foo
Will give you the options "folder1", "folder2", "bar", "foo" (possibly display folders first). Selecting bar will have no other suggestions unless bar is a soft link to another directory, while selecting "folder2" gives the option "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
