fuzzy-matching in quickopen...

[Dominik Haumann]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently not depending on this behavior, but I perfectly understand
Alex' concern here (and he is correct with the history of quick open).
Would an option to give already opened files more weight solve this? If so,
then we could have both.

Best regards
Dominik
