Build Identifier: 

From the Open Type (JDT) dialogue one is used to be able to use camel case abbreviations (AL to find ArrayList) to find types. This should work for Quick Switch Editor as well.

Reproducible: Always

Please add this feature!

I just registered to file the same feature request - fortunately found out that it already existed:)

+1 with one addition:

- when there are not capital letters this should be a "fuzzy" search. Meaning that typing mydcl would match [M][y][D]efault[C][l]ass
- when big letters are typed in they match only big letters (MDC would match MyDefaultClass but not MicroDisasterRecoveryImpl)
- elements displayed in the list of matching elements should be sorted - if possible - from the most recently accessed to the least recently accessed.

No one is looking at this right now.  See https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute

It means that no one is looking at this particular feature request right now (it doesn't apply to all feature requests).  Platform UI manages the current bugs for this release on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Plan/4.5/Planning_Bugs (and this one didn't make the cut).

You can either wait for it to show up on a committer's radar or offer a contribution (contributions from the community get bumped much higher on the list).
