The "switch to chat" dialog launched with Command+K should offer fuzzy matching

[zah]

The current dialog requires an exact case-sensitive substring matching which is too inconvenient to use.

At a bare minimum, the matching should be done in case-insensitive fashion, but competing products such as Discord and Slack offer even fuzzier matching where for example typing "jms" will successfully match for a contact named "James".

@jrainville, I could argue that my suggestion here is about supporting fuzzy matching while the other issue is focusing only on case insensitivity.

Ah fair enough, though it is more of a feature request. Would you kindly open it in https://status-desktop.featureupvote.com/ instead? :)
