MobiFlight is an open source project that allows you to create your own home cockpit for your favorite flight simulator in a flexible, affordable and extremely user-friendly way.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Available variables (presets) are currently presented grouped by functions or by airplane. There is no search function of any kind available and the list is quite long. Sometimes it can be difficult to locate a variable if it is not clear in which group it belongs to.
Describe the solution you'd like
Create a new output config wizard search field that allows the user to search for variables based on a text criteria. The search should include not only variables in the MF simvars list, but also the simulator "Local Variables" currently accessible through a button option. For example the user enters "pitot" and a list of all the variables containing that text is displayed for the user to select. We can get fancier by adding switches to the search, like "Case-Sensitive".
Describe alternatives you've considered
Hubhop might give a similar functionality, but it runs outside of MF and it is limited to the users contributed events and variables.
Additional context
None.
Acceptance Criteria:
[x] Filtering possible by Vendor, Aircraft, System, filters are in alphabetical order
[x] Filtering possible by free text, not case sensitive, matches in vendor, aircraft, system, description, code
[x] UI Translation for EN and DE
[x] Presets can also be fetched from HubHop
[x] Old definitions can be loaded from existing config
