added https://github.com/apache/netbeans/labels/Contribution%20welcome label. I suppose you didn't mean to select that you are planning on opening a PR for this?
@mbien good catch thanks. Yeah I'm probably not the best suited person for this.
@TheCookieLab didn't mean it like that. Contribution is always welcome!
There is a setting to change the ordering to match Similarity instead of alphabetic order. Try it and tell if better:
Description
When using the Go to File search the results appear to be sorted alphabetically which means the default selection is commonly not what the user is looking for.
For example: In the below screenshot I search for "DirectionalMovementOfIndicatorTest" and in the results, the default selection is a "fuzzy" match despite the exact match was also found.
It would be nice if there's an exact match it's placed first and selected by default. The fuzzy matches can then come after, sorted via the existing criteria.
How to reproduce
DirectionalMovementDownOfIndicatorTest.java DirectionalMovementOfIndicatorTest.java DirectionalMovementUpOfIndicatorTest.java
Use case/motivation
This is low priority but if a UX uplift initiative ever gets going this should be included.
