Idea

Change the system of autocompletion for local urls (/ or file:///) from history-based to reality-based

So if you're starting you're url with / or file:/// it will suggest real paths on top of the other results. And also make this blue finish-suggestion, which is competable with tab.

Example

Most file explorers (see image) or the linux terminal (just tab completion)

If you type some letters, for example "Doc", it will automatically suggest "Documents/" since I have this folder on my local filesystem. Under it there could still be suggestions like "Downloads/text.docx" or from your history.

Reason

  • If you're developing a website locally, you can access it's domain more easily
  • Local files you have visited earlier, but have deleted since then, won't be suggested anymore
  • If you rename a folder, suggestions will change to the new file

If there are still questions, feel free to ask in the comments 🙂
