Description

The Alt+P dialog does not autocomplete path names like bash or Finder's "Go To" or the standard Windows file dialogs. This would be a very handy feature to have. If fman already does this, I can't get it working on Windows.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Alt+P dialog on Windows with a network-drive path and compare its behavior with bash, Finder's Go To, and standard Windows file dialogs. Done means path names in network drives autocomplete reliably in the dialog.
