[Suggestions] Possible new features

[pingshunhuangalex]

1. Combine new file feature with open file feature, open files if the path exists
2. Path Autocomplete (I know it's been requested many times, https://github.com/patbenatar/vscode-advanced-new-file)
3. Support all directories, not just from a project (e.g. if I type ~/test/, it should also work)
4. display file icons in autocomplete

Hi @pingshunhuangalex!

Thanks for the suggestions. Let me address them separately:

1. That's already happening. If you type in a path that exists it will open it.
2. The other extension is essentially doing a hack that I'm not too fond of. I'm happy to accept pull requests if someone really wants to add this using this hack. I am tracking some issues listed in Feature Request - File Path Auto Complete #24 that request to add quick pick options to the InputBox. This seems more reasonable than a two step process.
3. This works as well already
4. VS Code has a very limited API so at the moment this is not possible. Sorry.
