Request: Folder auto complete #1

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

Could it support autocomplete when typing in a path. For example if I wanted to 
open explorer at c:\tmp, it would be good if it had similar behaviour to 
SlickRun.

For example when I type "c:\t" in SlickRun, it shows a preview of "c:\temp". If 
I press enter it opens explorer at "c:\temp". If I continue to type "m" instead 
of enter, it autocompletes to "c:\tmp" and I can press enter to go there.

I found a workaround that gets this to work for important common used 
directories.

Create 2 keywords:

Keyword: c:\tmp
Exe: c:\windows\explorer.exe
Params: c:\tmp

Keyword: c:\temp
Exe: c:\windows\explorer.exe
Params: c:\temp

Now autocomplete works for those two directories. It would be undesirable to 
have to do this for all directories, but for a few important ones is fine.
You can even press the right arrow, jump to the end of the current match and 
add a subdirectory that you don't have a keyword for and it opens as expected.

A dynamic mechanism that can query contents of directories as you type them 
would be much better though.
