[feature request] Indicate name of selected tool at top of calendar #204

Closed massey21 closed 6 months ago

Passing along another good request from one of my users.

When a tool is manually selected on the calendar we can see which box is checked, but when we locate a tool by searching (most common method, for many of us), it can be less obvious which tool's calendar is active. The checkbox isn't ticked, and the gray highlight may even be hidden if the (sub)categories are not expanded.

Would it be possible to... (1) add the tool name somewhere at the top of the calendar, at least in the case where only one tool is selected (2) check the box on the left sidebar when a tool is selected through the search function

Another approach that might better handle multiple tools is a button (like the expand/contract all categories button) would be a "expand only categories with selected tools" or "show only selected tools" button. Or yet another option -- prevent hiding tools in the left sidebar that are currently selected/active, such that contracting all categories would leave only the selected tools visible.

I'm flexible on the final solution, but the end goal would be to make it more obvious which tool calendar(s) is/are active at any point in time.

Thank you!
