Summary
The Cmd+Shift+P command palette search does not support fuzzy matching. Results are incomplete — items containing the search string are not returned.
Steps to Reproduce
- Open command palette with
Cmd+Shift+P
- Type a partial keyword that is a substring of a known command
- Observe that matching commands are missing from the results
Current Behavior
Search appears to use exact prefix matching (or similar strict logic). Many commands that contain the typed substring are not shown. The only reliable way to find commands is scrolling with arrow keys.
Expected Behavior
Fuzzy matching (e.g., matching non-contiguous characters like "opr" → "Open Project") so that partial and out-of-order input still surfaces relevant results. This is standard behavior in VS Code, Sublime Text, and other editors with command palettes.
