Go To File Should be able to open relative/partial paths #7456

Open otobio opened 2 months ago

otobio commented 2 months ago

Description

it is common to copy paths from github source or similar. Finding those path quickly in my editor without modification makes for a more refined user interface. This functionality exists in VS code. I think we should look at bringing this over to netbeans.

From implementation point of view this should basically work similar to sql LIKE '%<path>%'.

Its the small details that make the experience hard to leave

Use case/motivation

After using VScode and seeing the small details that make it a good editor. I think netbeans can steal small details refinements like this and make using netbeans even better.

would be nice. I typically use the terminal for this:

$netbeans path_to_file(s)

(but this might depend on how you installed NB)

drag and drop of folders/files into NB works too, in situations where you have them open already.
