Search function / Op Create Dialog (enhancement)

,

This might be something super simple as a UI work, but effective. We all know the color codes of the ops so when searching for ops with the tab, for example, “limit” - we would either need a chop/top/sop, but definitely one of the three, and nothing else. If you look at trello, or even macbook’s new notes function (to be released), they have these color codes to sort and filter. Why not use the search tab (while typing) as a filter method, where starting to type ‘li…’ gives the options of all ops starting with ‘li’ with a little colored dot signifying which family it belongs to. The likes of trello has visual accessibility features too such as stripes/crosses on each of these tabs which help identify faster.

This does save time not having to scroll down and search around with new ops being added often, and we have to readjust muscle memories, while we can access the ops faster. again, very simple feat request, but could be useful.

I agree that having to tab tab tab tab tab is a bit of nuisance when searching for OPs; this could definitely be streamlined. Love the Op Create Dialog, it’s simplicity is not a bad thing per se… sometimes simple features are the wisest…
…but I still miss something more akin to C4D’s search feature, which is global:

Well, there is a Runner component by @valentindufois but there seems to be some issue with the dependancy of woosh when trying to open.
But maybe its time to revive and do some commits? :slight_smile:

Runner’s functionality deserves to be built-in to Touch, no?
