Very good point @bpasero I totally agree. How it works now is way more desirable IMO.

Can we also think about the UX impact such a change would have? Today when you see quick outline you can get a sense of all the symbols that are above and below the cursor position. When we start to fill the selection into the picker, that functionality is lost. And it may not be so obvious that sometimes we pre-fill something and sometimes not.

Besides, what happens when I select something that is not a symbol?
