Future request: Is the a way to add fuzzy search (Ctrl+P) on serser? #1096

Hi, thanks for plugin! Works awesome.

There is a problem, I working on big project which located on server, so I use this plugin to connect using sftp. And the project tree is really big, many files and subcategories. It is very long to go through subcategories and find needed files to open for edit. It will be really nice if we can use Ctrl+P to search in project right on the server. As I know, there is command 'find .' on any linux server, which shows list all files in the current directory and subcategories. So I think it can be used to search using Ctrl+P. On every search plugin can send request to the server to get list of all files and then use fuzzy search of atom to choose correct (or multiple) file to edit. What do you think?

The idea has already been raised earlier. It could work only with SFTP.

It's good idea, but it's not sure use fuzzy search. For many it would be clearer if under the tree view has one input field. If modify the input field the tree view is updated and adjustable checkbox "search in a file".

Maybe PR? :octocat:
