Something I find myself doing quite often is searching return in the block search when I'm looking for report [], but of course, no blocks show up, as there is no return []::control cap block. Another frequent instance of this is when I search remove when looking for the delete (1) of @list block.
Now, I am not asking for the names of these blocks to be changed. However, I do request that some blocks have alternative names that they can be searched by—for example, searching return could bring up report []—or even a list in settings that the user could change client-side to define their own terms (so perhaps something like start:onReceiveGo, where now searching start shows you when flag clicked)
Interesting idea. My only hesitation comes from the possibility that we define a bunch of synonyms and then later want to use one of those names for a different block.
The search tool can give multiple results, so it could be designed to show the non-synonym based results first, and the synonym ones second.
True. We'll see if Jens will go for it. :~)
