Tree: Support continuous find

[petrillek]

Issue Type: Feature Request

Hi,

in a list of files I can filter them by start typing the name of the file. It is a super useful feature when you have hundreds+ files.
My issue is that the filter is trying to find the letters in the whole file name.
Here is an example search for word "file":

• this-is-file-i-looked-for.jpeg (I expect this to be returned)
• for-this-l.jpeg (This should not be returned, it is only a random match)

Would it be possible to add there extra settings to only returns full strings matches? Or is there some setting already buried somewhere?

Thanks a lot for all the work on awesome editor.

I've searched for it before I posted, but apparently used wrong keywords. Sorry for a duplicate.
But, as the previous issues were closed as "Out of scope" more then one year ago, can you reconsider it again now?

Yeah it was closed out of scope here: #66913
