Wish: Select same key value pop-up like SelLayer

Summary
For selecting keys, values or the combination of keys and values, could there be a similar command like SelLayer with a pop-up?

Current options
Right now it is possible to select keys and values in the Attribute User Text panel, which gives a visual clue of what you are selecting.


With the current commands (SelKey, SelValue and SelKeyValue) you have to enter the keys and values by typing.

Feature reequest
Would it be possible to add a preselection option to these commands that, when activated, a pop-up is displayed with all the keys and values and you get to click a row of keys and values that you can then select?

Just like the SelLayer command, but instead, the Keys and Values in the list are populated based on the attribute keys and values of the selected objects. That way, you don’t have to have the attributes panel open all the time (which only opens when you have a selection to begin with).

Hi @Intuos

It would be a good addition for sure. I’ve created a yt here for it.

Thanks!
Could you also list the preselection part? If I have dozens of keys and values, it would help if I could use existing geometry to narrow down which possible selection keys/ values appear in the dialog box.

@Intuos I added that to the yt, thanks

Yeah having a selected objects filter will really narrow the field. We’ll also need some additional search filtering on that dialog too.

Like an optional text search box.
