Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's not obvious from the property grid on how to 'select shader', and the documentation only says something along the lines of 'select your custom shader'.
The only way to 'select shader' is to actually start typing something in the textbox then it'll list something.

Describe the solution you'd like
Easiest option: Change the placeholder text to something like: Type shader name...
Harder option: Allow for some popup that lists your custom shaders that you can select.

Research direction

Start by locating the property grid's shader selector and inspect its current textbox placeholder. Implement the simpler requested option so the control explains that users should type a shader name, then verify the new wording is visible when selecting a shader.
