Background:

'Quick Search' is a feature that I recently implemented to get a quick glimpse of text results. To use it, you can type % in the quick open or run Search: Quick Search. It is also an option in the ? menu.

This is just another way to view workspace text search results. Later, we want to try integrating 'smart' copilot results into this, but for now, it just has workspace results.

Testing

This iteration, I implemented previewing on active pick for Quick Search (like we have for symbol search). When you have an item highlighted in the list, a preview editor should show the result in-editor.

Also, if you press escape on the picker, you should be taken back to the editor that you were originally on (unless you were originally on a preview editor).

Current Limitations

• This editor navigation is included in the history, meaning that back/forward will reflect these changes.
• If you don't have preview editors enabled (workbench.editor.enablePreview), then opened windows will accumulate as you open them.
