quickOpenRecent Command Shows InputBox in quick pick

[TylerLeonhardt]

workbench.action.quickOpenRecent

Uses "quick navigation" and is behaving as expected but it's odd there's an input box shown in the quick pick even though you'd never be able to use it.

We should hide it like Ctrl+Tab.

Fixed in #147493

Verification:

1. Add following keybinding to keybindings.json:

     {    
         "key": "ctrl+m",    
         "command": "workbench.action.quickOpenRecent"    
     },    

2. Use keybinding in VSCode

vscode will try to quick open recent files, then will try to close current workspace and open previously opened workspace.

This is expected and now you shouldn't see the inputbox/filter box in the quick pick anymore.

So, we have to use up/down arrows to navigate through the options now? I don't see anything happen when I try typing to get to a result.

@rzhao271 can you elaborate? After this change you shouldn't be typing anything because it's supposed to behave like Ctrl+Tab

To get the input field back, simply use workbench.action.openRecent instead. That is also the default command we bind to Ctrl+R.

Please consider this scenario too.
Two different behavior for the same action will look like a bug.
