Autocomplete page Title like Autocomplete #... or [[...?

A proposal that would likely gain universal support:

when editing a page title (page.name) in SB, shouldn’t it feature automatically completing its (parent-dir or folder’s) path ? — just like but little bit different from the tag #... and wiki link [[... autocompletion?

if so, “pa” tab “t” tab “yo” tab “file name” = path/ to/ your/ “file name”

  1. Implementing this ought to be effortless, for similar techniques in #... and [[... autocompletion.

For most users who prefer a hierarchical rather than flat or wiki-style structure, they often navigate deeper into existing directory trees. Thus, they typically first enter the name of an existing parent path.

  1. Such an autocomplete function would undoubtedly benefit many users.

For instance, in my own workflow:

first create a Quick Note, then rename it to something like Daydream/emojis in title function as tags... While typing Daydre..., title should be automatically completed, since the folder or parent path Daydream/ already exists.

non-ASCII symbols like emojis and Chinese characters, are not supported by the autocomplete search for #... and [[...

might be addressed by referring to Fixing Silver Bullet's Chinese Search Gap – A Space Lua Global Search Implementation.
