Is this a similar or duplicate feature request?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I work with projects whose directories contain in a few hundred files. Scrolling through the list is tedious.

Describe the solution you'd like Allow searching for file names. Something like the standard file open dialog, but for remote files, would be ideal. That is, when I start typing the filename, the list should scroll to the matching files. This should look at the list of files returned by the SFTP server, not the cached file.

Ideally, this search would extend to the directory names.

Describe alternatives you've considered Scrolling through the list.
