This command will bring up the Project Selector Window where the User can select from the existing projects using
- Fuzzy Search by starting to type the name of the project
- Smart Index Selection by typing the index of the project
The Project Selector Window will appear if the current path is
- outside the Projects Home directory
- in the Projects Home root directory
The Projects Home directory's path is loaded from the Projects Config File (~/.prc) located in the users home directory. The default path is ~/projects.
