### Description of the new feature / enhancement
Type a drive letter, then a folder, and press Tab to get autocomplete, as you do in the command line, PowerShell, and Linux. Example: c:\user [TAB] would add the backslash c:\user\ or c:\user\user [TAB] would add c:\user\username\ it is essential to add the backslash so you're ready to type the next folder.

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Command Palette implementation and its folder-navigation or Tab-handling entry point, then check for related tests. Done means Tab completes the typed folder path and appends the trailing backslash so the next folder can be entered.
