Feature Request: Ability to search plugins and expression maps

I have requests involing a much easier way to navigate long lists of plugins, expression maps, and endpoint configurations.

First is simply the ability when adding a plugin (whether a VST or insert effect on a channel), to be able to start typing a few letters to filter results and select it automatically. As an example this behavior is well implemented in Cubase and VEPro. I recently got into the MIR Pro 3D ecosystem and anyone dealing with that knows how slow it can be to add multiple channels - so ideally, one could also shift+click several channels and add them all together at once (similar to Cubase for example).

In addition and similar to this, I do a lot of hybrid setups outside of the traditional playback template. Over time as a result I have built and collected many different expression maps. When I need to switch, it makes it very hard to find a needle in this haystack, so searching to filter by a few letters would be great:

And also, when I do build a playback template, the button which says “Add Manual” to add and customize endpoint configurations can become gargantuan. The only way to get down to V for VSL is to keep scrolling over and over for each one you need to add. I would love to be able to search and filter here too.

Thank you!
