Icon Picker/Search #7334

Closed stephengolub closed 2 years ago

stephengolub commented 4 years ago

The request

An autocomplete or pop up for the various places that we can specify icons would make choosing appropriate icons much simpler.

The alternatives

Currently, my procedure is to go to materialdesignicons.com and search for an icon I want then copy/paste it into the field.

If there is any version drift, and that icon isn’t available in HA, then it won’t show up and I have to go back and choose a different icon.

Additional information

I realize that the full “tagged” values that are available on the mdi site may not be available, which isn’t a big deal.

I would love to see something like this added in instead: https://codepen.io/mortenson/pen/GMBeEg/

Though it would probably work better off the default JSON for updates (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Templarian/MaterialDesign/master/meta.json)

I think it might be closed now, we have this picker from 2021.11.

One thing I would consider is adding this picker also in developer tool, sometimes I just want to browse all possible icons and search for one that fits my case. To do it now, I have to go into any entity, click change icon and after browsing them I just click cancel. It would be great if I had this quickly accessible next to other "developer" tools but right now it is already much easier than it was before with the MDI website!

How about 2 part of my message? Should I create new feature request for it?

I you feel strongly about it, you can create a feature request, but I personally do not see (or get) your use case for that.
