Description
Today the Move symbol refactor operation load all types in the project. If the project is large, it takes a lot of time to load the items and its overwhelming to select from.
A suggestion is to use https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/vscode-api#QuickPick%3CT%3E so that we can start loading the types which are in the same package to start with, and then when user start typing we can use that as a query parameter and load more items with a de-bounce.
This will give much better user experience and fast response.
