have (more) shortcuts for favorites #105

if I have many folders with 'kl' (for example), I may need to type many letters or always scroll through the list.

Provide folder shortcuts (e.g. 1 or 2 or a1 or a2 ...). We can also define new keys, but might have more choices/options in such a notation. Or it might be easier to remember.

At the moment, a new key is either for G or S or .... With a *1 notation, the shortcut can be used for any operation (G,S,etc.)

What do others think?

Just to be clear, one would type S *fav1 where you've assinged *fav1 to inbox\projects\project1 for example. How would the presentation look in the list assuming I assign several fav?

*fav1 >> inbox\projects\project1
*fav2 >> inbox\otherfolder\project2
etc

Perhaps related: what about a more fuzzy search algorithm? Example to illustrate: https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/reverse_engineering_sublime_texts_fuzzy_match/ Demo: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/forrestthewoods.staticweb/lib_fts/tests/fuzzy_match/fts_fuzzy_match_test.html

So with such a algorithm you could CamelCase your folders and use that as "shorthand"?

type pwt find -> inbox\Projects\ProjectWorkTodo for example
