Debug Hover: Allow keyboard to search through properties

[jasonwilliams]

When hovering over an object (while the breakpoint is triggered) you can get a list of properties. Sometimes that list is very long. Is it possible to have a similar experience to the Explorer (in the side bar), where typing a letter moves the focus to that property?

For example in the gif below i would expect to type "me" and be taken down to "memoizedProps"

When the hover has focus the keyboard doesn't change content in the editor anyway so this should be safe to add without changing people's workflow.

@jasonwilliams good catch, thanks for opening this issue. Now we support that you can click in the debug hover and type the name of the variables to be navigated to them. This already works in the variables view.

To verify: open debug hover, click on it, start typing the name of the variable from the hover and make sure that variable gets focused

This is great to see, but I think we might need a little polish here when dealing with filter mode. We should not make the hover smaller when filtering down to a smaller tree, otherwise if your mouse it outside of it this can happen:

[jasonwilliams]

I agree, my expectation would be moving towards the target but keeping the hover window the same size

[isidorn]

@jasonwilliams yeah that is the default behaviour
@connor4312 we should just disable filtering in the debug hover. I have now done that, and we are only supporting the "simple keyboard navigation" = no filter, focus just jumps based on pressed key. Thanks for finding this.

@isidorn can you go straight to top straight to bottom via the keyboard? (Sorry this may need to be a separate request if not)

@jasonwilliams is the rest of the implementation working ok right now?
If so, I think we can set this issue to verified (or z-author-verified), since a new Stable is shipping soon, and we'd like to get various issues verified before then.
Meanwhile, I think you can write #127716 (comment) onto a new feature request, and link it back to this issue.

[connor4312]

I can verify

[jasonwilliams]

I won’t be at my machine for a few days so would need to delegate verifying to @connor4312

[isidorn]

@jasonwilliams yeah, home or cmd + left for first element, end or cmd+right for last element.
