Command line in Cell Library dialog

It would be good to provide a command line input in the Cell Library dialog. This would allow the user to key in 'AC=Name of Cell' etc and get the Cell Library to filter and list and display the Cell(s). The info and input points are currently remote from each other.

Wildcards and expressions support would be great. SelectByProperties-like key in strings. AC=Name, AA=90, ACS=. Lock= %d pipe etc. Scroll up and down to reuse.

Should open the door to more use of keyin scripts as part of placement and editing of Cells, as well as filtering the Cells displayed in the Cell Library dialog.

    Sounds to me like 2 issues going here...

    • I agree the Cell Library dialog has long needed some robust filtering, like as in the Level Manager dialog's ad-hoc Untitled filtering.

    • I keep the Key-In dialog always available, plus it does maintain history. Maybe enhance key-in dialog to remember some favorites, very informal, nothing extravagant.
