Tab press in Slate Editor brings node search field

Tab press in Slate Editor brings node search field

Like many modern node editors, I don't got time to be drilling down through sub menus. Just let me type tab' and search for the node I'm looking for. 'Tab' + Color brings me the color node, etc. 

It seems like an easy implementation that just makes life better.

Personally I'd like to see the entire slate editor get a makeover and in line visually with MCG and PFlow. Funnily enough the more modern UIs of MCG and PFow are built on the 'Slate' framework.

 

But, meanwhile, a node search like Blender or UE4 would be most welcome. Pretty crazy that it has never been implemented.

Or maybe use "X" to be consistent with the main UI. But, yes, this would be a great feature.

Ah crap I just post this same idea, I used the search function with "Slate editor X tab quick search" but nothing came up.

you got my vote.
