Add more block and inventory filters
Not Enough Votes
Looking through large lists of things can get very frustrating. There needs to be more filtering options to narrow down what you're looking for. This goes for block selection when creating, finding blocks on your grid, and finding inventory items. It becomes especially true when you install mods that introduce new listing categories.
Suggested Filters off the top of my head:
Searching for Blocks
- Weapons
- Blocks that have Inventory
Inventory Items
- Specific item categories (eg: ores, ingots, components, etc)
- Filter for connected grid, like there is for the current ship.
I like this feedback

The filter by item is a cool addition tho. You can ofc do that already by typing the item name into a filter, but it would be much better if you just select item from the list or apply entire category filter.
One additional thing that might be very useful is to maintain all the filters when you close the K manu and then open it again. I often checks something in in ventory and apply some complext combined fiters. Then I close the menu and do something else. Then I open up the ineventory again and all filters are gone so you need to go through applying those filter again.
The suggestio about filter by grid is also very nice. We have "this grid only" filter right now, which is exclusive to other filters. It would be much better to have a simple list of all connected grids. And you might be able to combine it with other filters. The most popular example would be: see cargo containers only on grid 1 and cargo containers only on grid 2. I usually can achieve this by carefully prefixing cargo containers on all of my grids by some unique designation so i can type this designation as a filter on left and right inventory panel. I do it because there is no actual filter to show ONLY CARGO CONTAINERS, but all inventory blocks. And the naming setup is not easy and you need to remember all those designation, make sure they are really unique and remeber to repeat the process if some ofg the blocks were replaced wit hthe default name.
Weapons only filter would ofc be very useful when loading your grid with ammo.
