SUMMARY
Highlight occurrences of search pattern in the KCM (or group/category of KCMs) currently on screen. This should simplify the user journey of
 1. using the Search bar and then
 2. tuning the configuration option they looked for.

IntelliJ IDEA implements this in its Settings dialog.

A fine idea! Would probably be an absolutely enormous amount of work though.
Comment 2 Benjamin Port 2020-09-29 08:19:51 UTC 
Yes like described quickly during my akademy talk, we will probably implement it in the future. But firstly we need to ensure we can do that without tons of work.
