Search in statechart
planned
Erik Rasmussen
Sometimes my state charts get quite large, and it can be difficult to find the state I want to work on. A
Cmd-F
to search for my state (with autocomplete) would be great. When selected, it would scroll that state into the center of my viewport. If there are multiple states with that name, perhaps I could toggle through them (Cmd-G
?) somehow.

Just to chime in: I think it would be fantastic if you could search for a state/guard/action/etc... and it would highlight the result in the statechart. The sidebar is nice, but it doesn't help me quickly visualize what I'm looking for.
I think using
Cmd-F
for that is completely fine, because it doesn't do anything anyway at the moment when focused in a statechart and this is exactly the behaviour I would expect.Farzad Yousefzadeh
Nevertheless, I still think being able to search for a keyword that filters through state nodes, events, transitions, etc. is a helpful feature for larger diagrams.

What do you think if you had the search in the left sidebar above the state node tree instead of a shortcut?
I have mixed feeling about overriding built-in browser hotkeys, plus clicking on a state node and highlighting it in the canvas is already there.

Ooh! I did not know about the structure navigator! Might be sufficient.
