Quick Open File: auto-use selected text as filename

[jumpfroggy]

I just (accidentally) discovered the Quick Open File command (Control+Shift+O). It's so useful, faster than using the File->Open (Control+O) for some cases.

It'd be great if it automatically used whatever is selected in the textfile as the default filename. That way if you had this:

Code: Select all

INCLUDE somefile.txt

You could just select "somefile.txt", hit Control+Shift+O, then enter and it'd automatically open that file. I can achieve the same thing now with a copy paste, but having it auto-populate would be very convenient.

BTW, tip for users: there's a "search subfolders" checkbox to automatically find the file you're looking for even if it's in a subfolder. If you're already in a subfolder and need to search a parent, just use "../" for example:

You're editing /site/admin/file.txt, which includes /site/include/common.txt.
Hit Control+Shift+O, type ../common.txt, check "Search Subfolders". It'll search /site/ and all subfolders. Nifty, eh?

Any comments on this feature, and my proposed change?

Hi
an when there is no text selected, the QuickOpen Textbox should contain the path of the current file (that is also returned by $File in the tool macros)
