Ctrl+E popup dialog show opened files

Ctrl+E popup dialog should support filter files by uppercase. See the screenshot as an example, when I type BPP, I expect to get file BeanPostProcessor.java from the opened file list, however, Ctrl+E popup dialog does not support this.

As a workaround, you can use B*P*P, but it could indeed be improved and be made more consistent with other search strategies.

Type B*P*P is rather cumbersome, and not feel as ergonomic as IntelliJ here.

Yes, as mentioned it's more a workaround you can use in the meantime, and doesn't make this bug invalid or not worthy.

This is almost the same as bug 543191 and if fixed probably along with the other.
