Visual nodes quick search and groups #694

Closed DevMagicLord closed 6 years ago

Hi,

There is some improvments that could make visual scripting a must. I take Unreal 4 example because it's a good example.

1 ) Nodes quick context search Instead of selecting nodes in the lower menu, press space to show a quick search dialog with nodes list or type few letters and the search function will propose the nodes beginning with those letters it found.

2) create nodes groups with title and color option

The 2nd one is possible. Use Ctrl + J. You can set title for it too, not sure about color.

1) Shift + a allows searching through available nodes rather quickly. 2) What @adriansnetlis said and individual nodes can be colored. See screenshot for examples of both in one handy image! :) blender_2018-06-15_14-22-57

Cool, this works like UE4 blueprints : )
