---------------------------------------------------------------

[~chrizzly] sure, there should be a reasonable tradeoff between performance and 
ease of use. So imagine if there's no checkbox, and there's some guessing or 
search results ranking and limiting involved in a search, do you really think 
it would make the performance that bad? Or do you like the checkbox more 
because it's more explicit and gives you more control?

I'm just a little concerned that having to remember to adjust the correct 
search mode manually every time, depending on whether I'm looking for a 
specific file and typing its name manually or copying the path from e.g. git 
status, doesn't make the whole process as much quicker as it could.

> Go to File seems to search only by the file name. For example, it takes only 
> a double click to copy a file name including its path from a console (eg from 
> git output), and it's a shame it cannot be pasted into Go to File dialog to 
> open that file just as easily, without removing the path information first.
> Also if there are many files with the same name (eg due to some naming 
> convention), there will be many results requiring some more time to locate 
> the correct one.
> Therefore Go to File dialog should accept parts of file paths as well.
> On Windows, both forward and back slashes should be supported for directory 
> separators.
