Hi There!

Can we have a search option in the design tab to cwicly search and edit CSS properties?

Hi @kane,

I have been giving this some thought over the last weeks and am glad to see this suggestion here.
Cwicly could definitely benefit from this.

Here are a few things I’ve been wondering about:

  • Would the search bring you to the specific tab/property directly or provide you with options?

  • Would you have a search by CSS property (i.e size vs background-size) or general naming?

I really like the first option IDK about the others.

This is a good idea! (and it would provide a workaround for those like myself, that don’t really like the current multilevel icon compartmentalized structure)

Maybe a dropdown (in which you can scroll through each options) that also has a search. (that searches through those dropdown options)

Would’ve been a life safer before the UI overhaul was introduced and I wished it was there so many times.
Not sure if such an option can save me time now or improve my workflow.
Working with hotkeys and macros, so I would give it a try anyway, which I think is currently not possible.

In any case, please consider an option to toggle the search bar.
I think a quick toggle would make more sense in this case which could be triggered from the block options and not from the global options.

I think a search is required. I feel I am spending most time finding the required property location. With Bricks - I just search property and make modification there. With Pinegrow - I just type out the property and values. Navigating throughout the UI to find a particular property is not for me. May be I don’t have the best memory.

the search engine is a great idea in my opinion, it speeds up the work and creating projects :)!

Doesn’t the first option sound more in sync with the whole philosophy of UI?
Would 2nd option open new doors I don’t expect?
Right now I go to 1st but also wonder if it is needed… but for new users like me it is needed and better treat them well I guess, for experienced users, still a great option especially if I work one month on another tool and forgot the icons.
Like Devdoit wrote, it may very well speed up the workflow in the end.

Bumping up this feature request!

This has just been introduced with v1.4.2, as part of:

I tested it for some time during the beta phase and found it to be a valuable addition that complements the new design panel.

Thanks to everyone for voting, and of course to the team who brought it to us :tada:
