Add channel and node search feature

[rfschmid]

Press Ctrl + / while the nodes or channels window is highlighted to start search

Type text to search as you type, first matching item will be selected, starting at current selected index

Press Tab to find next match starting from the current index - search wraps around if necessary

Press Esc or Enter to exit search mode

This is great! Would it be usefull to filter the nodelist as you type characters in the search bar? This way if you have multiple nodes that start with a prefix, you could display them all, instead of only finding the first one.

Also I'm noticing that if the nodelist updates while I search the selected node index doesn't update so the wrong node is highlighted. Not a deal breaker.

I could merge this now and be happy :-).

I read this then immediately forgot it. Solves the search for all the nodes that start with x I complained about in my previous comment. Sorry, very distracted by a 3yr old.

Filter could be useful for sure, it's just a little more complicated so would take a bit more work.

As far as the node index issue, does it resolve and start matching the correct nodes again if you press tab, or is it permanently off until you exit search and start again? It might be the later because I'm saving the list when you start search, I'm not sure if Python is giving me a deep or shallow copy there.

No, the highlight is always offset by the number of nodes that have updated in the last heard sort.

The tab is a perfect solution. I don't want this client getting so feature-rich that it doesn't run on an older sbc. Maybe file it for a maybe someday.

Okay l can fix that before we merge this for sure.

Okay I have to run so I haven't tested this thoroughly but I think it should fix the issue discussed - the index will probably be off until you tab or continue searching, but should fix itself once you do something.
