Autocomplete for Quick Switcher

[Syphdias]

Use case or problem

I heavily use the quick switcher to create notes in folders and subfolders. To do this I type the entire path of the note I want to create and use Shift-Enter or Shift-Ctrl-Enter

Proposed solution

Since there are already suggestions for notes, make pressing Tab complete to the folder of the selected note.

Example

Suppose I have a folder “software” with a note “obsidian” in it. Now I want to create a note “software/linux”.

1. Ctrl-O to open quick switcher
2. type: soft
3. it shows and selects software/obsidian
4. press Tab
5. the typed soft completes to software/
6. it still shows and selects software/obsidian since it still matches
7. type linux and press Shift-Enter (Enter would also do, if nothing matches)

This could also make it possible to filter while opening new files.

Current workaround (optional)

Type the entire path (correctly). If I mistype I get a new folder (which is a wanted feature in case I need a new directory)

Auto-complete path parts from Quick Switcher

If the search field contains the complete path of the new file I want to create, I can press shift-enter to create it. When I decide to create a new file, I may want to create it in a nested sub-folder. As far as I can tell, the only way to do this from within the Quick Switcher is to manually t…

Would also love this implemented

I too would absolutely love this functionality. Does anyone know of any plugins that could help? I often accidentally create new directories because of path typos.
