Grouping Shapekeys

Working on a shapekey driven face rig (Definitely doing it wrong, I know corrective keys should really be attached to bones and whatnot, but I'm TRASH at rigging so I'm doing it all using shapekeys and empties for controls) and I thought "This would be so much easier if I could collate the motions into groups" Not even with dependencies and parent-child hierarchies, just being able to group "Left Eyebrow" together would make the list less cumbersome.

There are addons for that, like MichaelGlenMontague/shape_keys_plus .

There are also existing proposals for forms of collections or groups in the shapekey lists, it would be nice to not create yet another new proposal and instead comment and upvote ones that already propose the same feature with more detail and information:

My bad, didn't search super hard with different keywords, just searched "Grouping shapekeys" and saw one result with a different suggestion and called off the search too early. Makes sense that it's been said before though. Also thanks for the link!
