Summary

A new feature was shipped that saves users time in finding and opening files, especially in larger projects. This feature allows users to access the file switcher without having the file tree visible. The file switcher can be accessed by pressing Ctrl + P (or Cmd + P on Mac), a binding chosen for its default usage in modern editors. Once in the file switcher, users can type a file name or path and the corresponding file will be displayed, with fuzzy string matching allowing partial typing to find files.
