Does anyone know: When using Ctrl+P to navigate to a file in @vscode.dev, how do you determine which file is which without using the mouse? Difference between these files is that these are in two different directories. If I mouse over them, I can see the directory. But I don't want to use my mouse.

One thing you could try: the path name is part of the fuzzy name matching. So if you type the fragment of the path name that is unique to the file you want + space + the file name you want, I think it should filter your choice list down the file you want.

I have to do this a lot in my projects. We have versioned APIs that have files with the same name in multiple different paths. If I forget to qualify my name search with the API version number that’s a part of the path I’ll open the wrong one and be confused for a minute. 😂
