Description

Description

The "open project" picker is annoying to use, as even if it suggests you folders, you can't use them without picking that exact folder. So there's no way, to pick an upper folder and then resume typing to get to a subfolder.

It's especially annoying, if you try to use opencode from a mobile device / recommendation is laggy or not working.
