Subword navigation : Apply introduced feature to whole UI

[V-ed]

Issue type : Feature Request

After the PR #48023 has been merged, a feature I really like has been added to VSCode and is currently in Insiders 1.26. This change is working well so far in the editors, but I would want to be more extended through the whole vscode UI.

By "through the whole UI", I mean Search boxes, Command Palette, file/folder renaming, even the terminal (stretched request here).

This is a request that is already present in the extensions that provided this functionnality in the past (but were blocked by extensions APIs limits) : https://github.com/ow--/vscode-subword-navigation/issues/12 (as seen in this thread too : #541 (comment)).

@kumarharsh's request (#3526 (comment)) is basically the same as what this current issue is about.

It would be awesome to have either :

• an extension API to allow for hooks in the Input fields of VSCode (which would allow for something kind of like Provide API allowing extensions to provide enhanced command palettes #35993) (this would be better in another issue though)
• or to actually do it in the core of vscode.
