"Quick Open" open all/multi-select files

[janhaertel]

Sometimes I need to open all files matching a certain criteria.
For example:

At the moment I have to start "Quick Open" and then enter my search term and then go through each entry and hit arrow-right on my keyboard. This can take very long.
It would be nice if I could just open all files that are in the dialog.
It would also be good if I could select multiple files with ctrl + click and maybe shift + click to open only the files I need.

While I would love this as well, there is an extension: Open Matching Files that provides that.

Thanks I'll be trying this out.

+1 for this feature. It seems super useful.

The "Open Matching Files" extension does not provide the behviour. It uses its own search dialog with its own search mechanism. One integrated with ctrl+p quick open would be much more convenient and consistent.

@safield totally agree, although what Open Matching Files provides is about the best option until something like this is available.

Until something like this is available, you could also use integrated terminal with bash, and run:
code **/*Dialog.js (provided that you have set shopt -s globstar in ~/.bashrc)
