Go to File... preview of currently highlighted file in drawer

[narkowicz]

Feature request: this is a helpful feature of Sublime Text currently missing in VS Code.

When the 'Go to File' tool drawer is open, preview the file that is currently highlighted in the drawer in the editor pane (or the pane that has focus, if using split editor) behind the file selection drawer.

Allows easy previewing and selection of correct file before opening; especially useful where files have similar names and / or paths.

@narkowicz I have the same request and I found this issue through google. I believe I found the original issue here: #8939

Took me a while to find, the title could use some work
