claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix @ file picker should support fuzzy filename search in additionalDirectories [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by using the full path to files in additionalDirectories or utilizing Bash to find files.

Guidance

• The likely cause is a limitation in the fuzzy filename search functionality for directories added via permissions.additionalDirectories.
• To verify the issue, try typing @ followed by a partial filename in a directory added via permissions.additionalDirectories and observe the lack of search results.
• As a temporary workaround, users can paste the full path to the file manually, such as @/Users/me/Downloads/exact-filename.csv, to access the file.
• Another workaround is to use Bash to find files, as mentioned in the issue.
