The problem currently is that if u are mapping tokens to other tokens, the suggestion dropdown doesn't allow searching or typeahead such that a user always needs to either scroll or recall the exact token name.

Thanks for reporting, yeah I think we'll want to do some improvements to that component so you can keep typing. Ideally suggest and the dropdown do 2 different things.

Suggest: Autocomplete the current typed value after you typed {
Pick: Give a popover that lets me search and pick tokens

@six7 thanks - is this something you look into working on?

Yes, we're a bit blocked by #1203 but once that is out of the way there'll be these two modes of suggest/search.

Contributions are always welcome if that's something you'd like to see fixed sooner 🙏

@six7 May I ask a question about your first reply

Pick: Give a popover that lets me search and pick tokens

In my head it would be implemented in a way that all special characters like e.g. "." and "-" will segment a variable, so you could search for: "base.selectable.primary.bg-hover" with a string like "ba pr se ho". Does that sound like your idea of implementing it?

I'm closing this in favor of #1203 which will fulfill those requirements.

@esreverse yes, that'd be ideal! added it to the requirements.
