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

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. ? :D

Usage example:

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

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?

Only worry would be this causing an issue Ableton is known for: it constantly indexes its folders and places it reads and writes to just so you can do searches like that. That often results in performance issues.

Could always make it only index on demand.
