Okay so this just blew my mind, and I love you.

Some time ago I changed from using Atom/Sublime to the stripped down vscode from Microsoft. Because the filesystem search in vscode is fantastic. The reason I mention it is because I don't remember how C-S-p behaves in atom/sublime.

But, in vscode, you can type for example "aca" and it will match the action "Add Cursor Above", based on the first letter of each word. I find myself using this method exclusively, and I was hoping you might consider it for plotinus.

I can't foresee with immediate clarity any way in which it would conflict with existing usage, but I'm not going to claim that it won't.

Thanks for reading!

Also worth mentioning that it will match, for example "This Sentence Matches The First Two and the Last Word" to "tsw".

Thanks for the flowers! 😊

I'm aware that this is what Sublime and its offspring do, but to be honest I've always found this to be the weirdest aspect of their command palettes. I guess I just don't think of commands in terms of their acronyms, and I remember seeing an "unintentional acronyms" bug somewhere on the Atom issue tracker, which they worked around by complicating their sort heuristics.

Overall I'm a bit on the fence with this one, but I'll consider it as a future addition.

I'm closing this as "won't fix" as I have realized I just don't want this behavior in Plotinus. Typing "file" should not match "Find In Line (Extended)".
