Keeping track of opened directories & files is a nightmare in VSCode and it will be the same nightmare in the Editor once a user starts dealing with multiple directories. I use Ctrl + P a lot in VSCode that allows me to search through my local files & I often use this method to open a file instead of digging through to find it

In the Editor, we can add this search, preferably in two settings
quick - searches visible nodes & their already expanded children
advanced - opens unopened folders behind the scenes, and searches them

The quick option isn't that complicated and can be done first. UX could look something like (very rough),

In this example, /test folder has other files in it, but those get hidden because none of them currently contain the string 'appSer'

Please link this issue to others if I am duplicating something

I finished this. Now available on 'staging' with Alt + P
or
right click the active directory area in the tree
or
open the search via the menu in the top left
