BehaviorSearchPopup

Remarks

NodeSearch's ranked popup, in shape and in behaviour: type a few letters, get the things whose name or category matches, best first. What is different is the filter — dropping on a composite's child row offers composites and tasks, and dropping on a node's decorator strip offers decorators — because a tree's slots are typed where a dataflow graph's ports are.

⚠ It ranks on the same rule NodeSearch does and does not share the code. That framework's search is over NodeTypeDefinition, which carries ports and a factory this library has neither of. Twenty lines of ranking against a reference to a framework whose model was deliberately not taken is the wrong trade — doc 37 § D19.

⚠ An overlay and a root child, as NodeSearchPopup is, and it was neither. It used to be a child of the tree view placed with left/top — which are relative to the view, while Show was documented as taking document space, so every panel not docked at the window's origin would have put it off by the panel's offset. Nobody saw that because nothing ever opened it (#1370). As an overlay it is drawn over whatever clips the panel, closes on Escape and on a press outside it, and keeps the focus in its field so the next letter typed lands there.

The popup is BehaviorSearchPopup.vxml (#89); this file is the accessibility modifier, the ranking rule, which reads no element, and the two elements that exist only so that markup can write an intrinsic tag's own Text.
