Free style fuzzy finder for filenames #2156

Issue

Current Behavior

When adding files, a match of the exact literal that the user is typing is done against all repo files paths.

Feature Request

It would ease the user experience to be able to look for files to add in a free style format, much like what FZF does.

Example

We want to add a file named my_file.py. This feature would allow the user to find a match by typing e.g. my file or even file my, also by matching parts of the full path.

UI Suggestion

Separating the strings to search for by a blank space is currently not possible, because of how the /add command and arguments is parsed. We could enter a hypothetical fzf mode by by typing TAB after a blank while typing the args for command /add. Also for command /read-only.
