Option to widen the command palette

[Moghul]

I have a number of files that are quite deep in the file structure and some of them share names at least partially. It's a common occurrence that I will search for a file, get several options, and be unable to discern which of the results are the exact one I'm looking for.

I want to be able to
a) Make the width of the command palette increase automatically to include the full path
b) Manually set a px width for the command palette

PS. If there is a way to do either of these already, I have been unable to find it, and would appreciate being told how.

This would be great to have. I thought this extension would lend a workaround but not sure if its css rules can target the "Quick Open" or not.. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=iocave.customize-ui

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll investigate when I have some time on my hands :)

@peternoges , @Moghul using the extension you posted, I had success with the following (add to settings.json):

  "customizeUI.stylesheet": {
    ".quick-input-widget": "width:800px !important"
  }

YMMV!

@utilityboy Thanks for the help! That actually did do something. It's off-center, but at least it's wide enough now for me to read the full path. It'll do nicely until the official feature is implemented.

EDIT: I actually managed to adjust it with a bit more CSS.
".quick-input-widget": "width: 1000px !important; left: calc(50% - 200px);"
This is what did it for me.
