Description of the new feature/enhancement

Add a quick filter for profile drop down. Picking a profile (when opening a new tab) with arrow up/down keys is a pain once profile count exceeds 20-30

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

  • When profiles drop down is opened and user starts typing the whole profile list filtered by basic text match
  • Filtered means only the profiles with Name =~ *filtertext* are displayed
  • Current "filtertext" text to be shown / visible as well in any suitable way
  • Pressing "Esc" removes / clears the filters and brings all the profiles back

You know, I think the Command Palette is just the UI for this 😉
