Typing a path separator (/ or \) now automatically opens the content assist popup in the Choose Workspace dialog, instead of requiring Ctrl+Space. Ctrl+Space continues to work as a manual trigger.

In the Choose Workspace dialog, the directory content assist popup currently only opens when the user presses Ctrl+Space. Typing a path separator (
/or\) now auto-activates the popup, which matches how shells and most IDEs behave and makes path entry noticeably faster. Ctrl+Space still works as a manual trigger, so nothing is taken away from existing users.
