Enable fuzzy matching for picker

Have a quick pick control with these values ["hello", "hello_there"]

Type ht or hello_ -> hello_there will show up Type he_ -> no results

@bpasero I think the “filtering” and “ranking” logic should be considered separately. It would be pretty easy to enable fuzzy filtering everywhere (ranking results naively on the order of appearance) while still having a custom ranking logic for file paths.

I recently switched from the IntelliJ world to VSCode and the fuzzy match algorithm of VSCode is slowly driving me insane. In addition to the cases here, one thing that IntelliJ gets really right is case sensitive matching of partial words and priority for local symbols.

Check out this example. I am trying to match externalReport which is defined on the line immediately above. ext correctly matches. Typing R should increase the weight of the already-top result but instead, it drops off the list entirely.

The result of this is that I frequently wind up with random variables and imports as a result of the correct result disappearing after I type more letters that should only increase its weight.

You can see a similar result play out here: vs WebStorm:
