Allow selecting directories in @ file search
What feature would you like to see?
Problem: @ file search in Composer popup only shows files.
Use-Case: When working with a codebase, being able to reference an entire directory (e.g., a library, module, or package) is crucial, models are good enough to do List/Ls and then rg or Read any files they want. Also, not to mention selecting a handful of relevant files one by one takes A LOT of time.
Solution: Show directories in @ search results with a trailing "/" suffix (e.g., "src/utils/"). When selected, the directory path is inserted, allowing the agent to understand which directory the user is referencing.
Additional information
I have a working implementation ready:
- Adds "/" suffix to directories in file search results

- Allows selecting directories just like files
