Wishlist: Objects dialog search: find more than just the first item

[Hachmann]

Currently, the search in the objects dialog only finds the first item that has/contains the word the user is searching for.

It would be good if there were arrows that allow you to jump to the next item that matches, or if it were even possible to use this to select several objects at once by name (optionally).

Just tested on Windows XP with lp:inkscape/0.92.x rev. 15155, and it seems that you can cycle through the whole objects list that matches your search with the up and down arrows of the keyboard or the scroll button (middle mouse button).

Could you please confirm?

Yes, it's not obvious (at least it wasn't to me), but it works. It's certainly a lot faster than pressing any arrows. Thank you!

(not sure if I should still suggest adding those up/down arrows. I won't need them now... Maybe a tool tip would be sufficient...?)
