Add keywords and operators in searchbars
While trying to tweak my theme, I thought it would be nice to be able to search in preferences (which is already requested here: Search bar in Blender Preferences window — Right-Click Select ).
But the missing thing to make this even more powerful is being able to refine a search by the use of keywords and operators.
Keywords
Example of keywords that would make sense in the Theme preference tab:
-
type:
- color
- checkbox
- list
- float
- pixels
-
in:
- 3DViewport
- TextEditor
- Properties
- basically each category/sub-category
This would allow you to filter precisely what you are looking for and where.
I.E if i want to search for color settings in the viewport with the "selected" title, i could type in the searchbar:
type:color in:3DViewport selected
Operators
It would aslo be awesome to support simple operators
+ -
.
I.E. if I want to do as above, but excluding items titled with "selected":
I can type
type:color in:3DViewport -selected
.
Which would return thing like
Face Selected
,
Face Dot Selected
, or
Vector Handle Selected
.
Or If I want only titles containing both "selected" and "face":
type:color in:3DViewport selected+face
which would return things like
Face Selected
and
Face Dot Selected
but not
Face
or
Vector Handle Selected
.
While typing
type:color in:3DViewport selected face
would return any color property in 3D Viewport that has either "face" or "selected" in their title.
