Right now, if you type after the location bar an autocomplete popup will show up listing subfolders/files. Problem is that it matches strictly from the beginning of the strings, and it's pretty numb! It doesn't work on scenarios like: .../2022-something .../2022-anotherthing .../2022-morestfaffs .../2023-nice .../2023-ok If you want to jump directly to one of the `2022- `, you have to type `2022-` reluctantly. If the match starts from the first match, you can just type `anotherthing` and tab select `2022-anotherthing`, quick and fast. Even for regular folders without prefix patterns, this can still help, because sometimes memory only remembers the later part of the folder name. --- Probably can go further: The result should be fuzzy search ( in a mode that strictly put matched result at top), so that the autocomplete will tolerate human errors. --- Prior art: Dolphin's own filter :-) Autocomplete is a process of narrowing when the user typing. A better location bar be like -> type to filter to a single or a few results, then use tab to select the one.
There are a lot of existing CLI tools doing a better `cd`, One is the fish shell. Please try its default `cd` -> type some names and press tabs, it's much faster.
