Should we have an history saved on the local PC
It could contains search done, paths searched and tabs opened. It shouldn't be in the settings file, because it changes all the time.
That could be combined with fuzzy-searching (crate exist here and example here) and ImGui combo box?
If I understand this correctly, I think some inspiration can be taken from find dialogs in IDEs (VS, VSC, Intellij): they often have a history of the last values of the input widget, which can typically be browsed with Alt+Down
A natural facet of this feature in my opinion would be to prepopulate the input widget with its last used value (again, similar to many IDEs find dialogs).
which can typically be browsed with Alt+Down
Or just up. ;-)
Yeah, I thought of doing it like Sublime Text, but I must say, I never really have the need. I wonder if it would actually be useful.
