It’s no longer possible to jump to a layer name just by typing it’s name in Rhino 8 WIP.
Expected behaviour:
- Click somewhere on the “Layers” panel to bring it to focus.
- Start typing “fen…”
- Fences layer gets selected, because it’s name matches.
It worked in Rhino 7, but in Rhino 8 now nothing happens.
I think this is standard behaviour in Windows UI. I imagine it must have gone during the development of the layer panel (which has improved things a lot I think).
It would be useful, because it eases the navigation when you have a set of frequently used layers. You can keep hands on the keyboard instead of clicky-pointing layer names.
A shortcut to focus on the search bar could solve that as well 
(e.g. ctrl+f)
