IDE: Checkboxes(/filter options) on CTRL+T search #4277

Open iampremo opened 1 year ago

iampremo commented 1 year ago

Ticket #208649

Feature Type: feat_change_ide Description: Add 3 checkboxes above the CTRL+T search bar that read: "Search For: ☐ Assets ☐ Options ☐Preferences"

Each can be checked to instantly toggle what resources are being searched for. These mimic the options specified in the IDE preferences

Consider also adding a way to isolate specific asset types, e.g. "☐ Objects ☐ Sprites" etc... If this is added, a Filter button may be a better fit than textboxes in the search window. Benefit: On-demand control of what you want to search for could help quickly search for and identify assets, options, and preferences.

For example, if you typically use CTRL+T to quickly find assets, but suddenly want to search options without having to go find the setting for it, you can just turn it on real quick. Link:

So I would extend it to duplicating checkboxes from General Settings > Go To into Go to window itself, so they can be dynamically changed whenever we need:
