claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix @ file picker: file paths not shown in search results, making disambiguation hard [1 participants]

TL;DR

Modify the @ file reference utility to display the full relative path alongside the filename in search results.

Guidance

• Review the implementation of the @ file reference utility to determine why it's only showing filenames without directory paths.
• Consider modifying the search results dropdown to display the full relative path or at least the parent directory for each file.
• Investigate how other code editors like VS Code's Quick Open or Telescope in Neovim handle similar file searches and path displays for inspiration.
• Evaluate the feasibility of adding a feature to dim or secondary-display the path information to prioritize the filename, as suggested in the issue.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context on the implementation, but a potential display format could be: endpoints.md (plans/api).

Notes

The solution may require changes to the search query handling or result formatting within the Claude Code VSCode Extension. The exact implementation details are not provided in the issue, so further investigation is needed.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround or modification to the @ file reference utility to display relative paths, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned as an option in the issue. This is because the issue explicitly requests a change to the current behavior, implying a modification is necessary.
