I was just about to create this again, as a tool to open a note in a folder of my choice.
I think the logic can wastly simplified though, and still be very useful. I imagine doing a search, and when hitting the Tab key it autocompletes either to the full folder (or the full path) of the entry which is highlighted. This would allow for us to do fuzzy searches for the folder, and get the completion right away.
So please implement this soon!

Thank you so much for such a detailed writeup. Explains it perfectly (and I want it in Obsidian dearly)

Please implement; this feature is just too important. Otherwise moving images from “lo/oo/oo/ng/path1/assets” to a currently nonexistent “lo/oo/oo/ng/path2/assets” would be painful, since we cannot reveal the folder “lo/oo/oo/ng/path2” directly from the quick switcher either (the only way to reveal it is to manually expand at every level in the Files side panel), which is yet another gripe I have.

I registered on the forum just to support this.
The deeper the folder nesting, the more difficult and painful the process of creating a new note becomes. I truly hope to see this addressed and implemented.
can use OCR to recognize text and then paste the result. It’s very quick when combined with OCR shortcuts (I use Bob).
This is just a temporary solution; i still hope for an official update to include this feature.
I’m not sure I follow. How do you use OCR to tab complete folders in path?
+1 to this FR. Pretty please? Maybe a plugin… though I don’t want too many of those…
will be implemented in v1.6.0. No ETAs.

Thanks @WhiteNoise!
Do you happen to know if that’ll carry over to the (fuzzy?) suggester modal(s) available in the Obsidian API?
