I must applaud VSCode for this new terminal completions feature

It completely doesn't work with Windows backslash paths, and is so laggy it makes using the terminal miserable.

What is QA?

Well, I did make the tail longer. Now I have to figure out a basic design

First idea I had is this segmented/tapered design. Not confident in it tbh.
