[Feature Request] Search in Shortcut mapper #2562

Description

When I open the Shortcut mapper, I see a large list of Name/Shortcut pairs.

When I want to change a shortcut now, I first have to find it in the list by reading all the list items. This is inconvenient because I most probably have and idea of what I want to find, e.g.

  • All commands that are assigned to the F5 key
  • All commands whose shortcuts have Ctrl+Shift in them
  • All commands that do rot13 encoding

There should be a possibility of filtering the list of shortcuts. The simplest idea is to have a single text field above the list where I can enter several words, like Ctrl, file, toggle, rot13. Then, in the list below that text field, only the relevant shortcut mappings should be shown.

Any of the following conditions makes a shortcut mapping relevant for a search term:

  • Its command name (either in English or localized) contains the search term
  • The path in the main menu (either in English or localized) contains the search term
  • Its shortcut (either in English or localized) contains the search term
