Easy access to filter functionality for the outline pane #20990

Open BahaaEiz opened 1 year ago

BahaaEiz commented 1 year ago

Adding sorting and text-based filter for the outline pane of spyder will be very useful.

Suppose you are dealing with a single class that has tens or hundreds of methods, them searching for methods by matching Name and sorting them alphabetically will be very handy.

Hi @BahaaEiz sorry for the late response and thank you for your feedback! Maybe the Symbol finder functionality could be useful for you? You can access it from the File menu (File > Symbol finder) or via the shortcut Ctrl + Alt+ P:

symbol_finder

Let us know if that help/covers the feature that you had in mind!

@dalthviz, I think we should add a search icon to the Outline main toolbar so that users can easily find this functionality.

Hi Daniel

Thank you very much for your reply. Definitely the symbol finder is a helpful tool. But I think for code restructuring purposes, it will be helpful to have the ability of sorting the methods and variables in the outline panel (which seem to me a tree QT structure) as it allow seeing the names constantly while carrying out the necessary code modification (not only to search for names). The outline panel is a great panel that makes the spyder environment more user friendly and competitive compared even to common editors like VS code (which has also a feature like the symbol finder).

I think enhancing outline panel with feature (sorting or maybe even adding notes, flags or “to do” mark and filter them) to keep track of code production will make spyder more powerful and friendly.
