Keymap Search > Exact Matches Only

Issue

Under Preferences > Keymap > Key-Binding > [Searchfield] I wish there was a method to let me explicitly search for the exact key: no variants. Currently, you'll end up with a ton of variations on the key you're searching for.

Suggested Implementation

Adding a toggle, eg. "filter icon" somewhere in the search field, perhaps right next to the magnifying glass.

Behavior

Make a search for the hotkey X . Result will be an endless list of hotkeys containing X . If you want to search for just X , my proposal adds an exact match option.

Or, by default, the exact hotkeys go first, and then all the other hotkeys are indented.

Interesting, yeah. Perhaps instead of indentation there could be some other way to visually distinguish non-exact matches? Maybe Indentation interferes with windows size / screen real estate a bit too much? Perhaps a theming option for 'non-exact keymap matches' could work?
