Description

New Feature / Enhancement Checklist
Current Limitation

In the situation when Class have a lot of columns it's difficult to find specific one. It requires a lot of vertical scrolling and desired column can be missed.

Feature / Enhancement Description

Databrowser capturing typing and filtering shown columns by entered query.

Example Use Case

Let's say class have three columns: country, phone, currency.
When data browser is showing this class:

Action: "c" key is pressed.
Results:
"c" string appears somewhere at the top
phone column gets hidden
"c" i country column name gets highlighted (country)
"c" i currency column name gets highlighted (currency)

Action: "u" key is pressed.
Results:
"cu" string appears somewhere at the top
country column gets hidden
"cu" i currency column name gets highlighted (currency)

et cetera

Alternatives / Workarounds

Using browser's build in context search (ctrl + f) and entering column name there.
