Description

When using Quick Open (`Ctrl+P`), recently opened files seem to be prioritized even when they are unrelated to the folder I'm currently working in.

For example, if I'm working inside `backend/src/database/schema`, files from that folder should ideally appear before recently opened files from unrelated directories.

The current folder could be used as an additional ranking signal, while still keeping recently opened files as a factor. I'm willing to implement this feature myself.
