Describe the request

Add a search capability to the "SKETCHBOOK" view.

🙂 Users will be able to quickly find a specific sketch from their sketchbook.

Describe the current behavior

The "sketchbook" folder serves as a convenient place to store sketches. The "SKETCHBOOK" view of the Arduino IDE Side Panel shows a list of all the sketches from that folder in their tree structure.

Users often have a large collection of sketches.

🙁 It can be time consuming to find a specific sketch to open via the Arduino IDE UI.

Arduino IDE version

b451e2d

Operating system

All

Operating system version

Any

Additional context

The scope of the search should be set by the tab selection in the "SKETCHBOOK" view:

• Local Sketchbook
• Cloud Sketchbook

---

The semi-equivalent "EXPLORER" view (accessed via the "Toggle Explorer View" command) does have a filename search capability:

However, that design makes the feature difficult to discover and easy to trigger accidentally.

A design based on the Boards/Library Manager search capability will be more user friendly and consistent:
