Spotlight search

[Toemsel]

Having a ton of resources, scripts, scenes,... the FileSystem explorer's search function is cumbersome. You always have to search, delete, search, delete,... modern IDEs (VS Code with ctrl+p, VS with ctrl+,) offer a spotlight search. You enter a search term and receive direct hits or elements with a certain distance match. This would improve productivity and you don't have to search in the FileSystem, Script and Methods tab all the time.

The spotlight search would pop up mid-screen and offer results as you type. The search should include filenames, contents of shaders, and gdscript.

There's already a quick open dialog (I think the shortcut is Ctrl+alt+P shift+alt+o) where you can filter resources, scenes, and scripts based on their file name.
It could be extended to show a preview for scripts/shaders and also to search within the files and, for scripts, the script symbols (functions and stuff)

Does not include the file's content nor can I use that search function without a mouse. There is no shortcut to navigate around within the treeview after typing.

Oops, it's shift+alt+o. I got the shortcut wrong, sorry

No problem pal. That is helpful - thanks. Still not what I am looking for, but it is better than nothing ;)
