How about a real time track filter/find feature? (maybe CTRL + F)

[GreenLight 77]

Many projects have a lot of tracks, so to facilitate finding the right track quicker, how about implementing a track find/filter feature?

It would change the display of tracks in real time based on searching all track names.  CTRL + F or something could be used. 💡

Usage example:

• Type "strings" = shows all string tracks
• Type "slap bass" = did I have a slap bass track somewhere? (now, why would you? )

Good idea, you could possibly add it to the Browser or Inspector maybe ?

In Cubase there's a "Find track" icon just at the top of the track list, check it out below. It basically presents an overview of all tracks and let's you jump to a track. Maybe that's better/faster than live filtering of all tracks?

Using the media browser preview usually does it for me

What would be awesome is if this could also find clips by name. I do film work and sometimes I'm hunting through a bunch of tracks to find that "one effect" that I want to modify. This would potentially help me find it faster.
