Display icons with name in alphabetically sorted list in symbols dock

[Pander]

Please offer a setting to list in the Symbols dock a list with on each line a symbol with also the symbol name and sorted alphabetically ascending on the symbol name.

Currently there are two view with more and fewer icons per row. However, with really large icon sets, one has to use the mouse over (an wait a little bit for each symbol) in order to find a symbol by name.

Implementing this additional view for symbols will increase selecting symbols by names in large symbol sets. This is relevant for the default symbols sets but also for the sets offered by https://github.com/Xaviju/inkscape-open-symbols

An example in pink is found here https://i.imgur.com/TYwCZDK.png Note that the default way of showing symbols can still be maintained. This request for or an additional non-default view of the symbols.

There will also be considerable amount of whitespace between the symbol names as the symbols itself with create relatively high lines, but that is OK.

I would find useful a 'filter by name' input somewhere to find symbols in a very large set.
An example of this is behavior is in the Font Awesome icon page. https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

Yes, good idea, also for the icon-only overviews. Even supporting regex?

Isn't this 'Fix committed' now?

If yes, in that version?

Displaying the symbol name in the dialog would be amazingly useful! Maybe display the first 10 characters of each symbol. Even better would be the ability to search a large list of symbols by name or description. See example here: https://imgur.com/a/bqSPRsT
