[feature] Improve Move symbol by using Custom QuickPick which will not load all symbols.
Today the Move symbol refactor operation load all types in the project. If the project is large, it takes a lot of time to load the items and its overwhelming to select from.
A suggestion is to use https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#QuickPick%3CT%3E so that we can start loading the types which are in the same package to start with, and then when user start typing we can use that as a query parameter and load more items with a de-bounce.
This will give much better user experience and fast response.
Do you mean use the API createQuickPick, which will have the full lifecycle control of the quick pick widget?
The idea looks good to me 👍.
Feel free to make contributions if you would like to :)
BTW, since the quickpick API is VS Code only widget, so from the APIs design aspect, please try to make it client-neutral -> to avoid breaking other client, and it possible for other clients to adopt this new capability.
