Allow search by Name in the Actions dialog.

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The actions list in the action settings dialog is large, and it's difficult to search for a specific item, so It would be useful to have some search feature, such as an input dialog which allows filter them by name.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add an input dialog at the top of the dialog which filters the actions list as the user typing.

Do you mean in the command palette, or in the settings UI?

I mean in the settings dialog.

Oh okay yea, sure that makes sense. IF ONLY WE HAD A HANDY WAY OF FILTERING A LIST OF ACTIONS ALREADY 😝

Despite your sarcasm, you're likely talking about the command palette 😜. Sure, you can filter actions there, but I don't mean this.

I'm talking, for example, when you want to modify the action's hotkey, it bothers moving from the scroll to look for a specific action. I think It would be easier to have some filtering options in the dialog.

Oh that's definitely different. Thanks for helping clarify! There's probably a filterable version of ComboBox we could use for that

(Feel free to dismiss me if I'm saying something you all already know!¹)

I think Mike's sarcasm was directed towards the project, rather than at you. "If only we had used the thing we already have! Alas! How silly of us!"

(¹ can never be too careful)

^{(^ this is correct)}

This would be great. The settings dialog is approachable which helps adoption.
