Searchable configuration palette (like firefox/tb about:config, cudatext etc)

As petermad mentions here
I do think a more discoverable and more user friendly method to set them should be integrated IN TC itself and I think being able to search all config options if only by name of the setting and ideally the description and possible values too, would be very useful.
So add a "search settings" options which would bring up listview like menu which is filtered by typing similar to what you see in about:config in firefox or thunderbird and for example the "command palette" you can find in editors such as cuda text (ctrl-shift-p)
It would be relatively easy to create a AHK Script as it iniread/write/delete command and "type to filter" is easy enough, but that would still be an external tool and not easy to "discover" for regular users who can't be bothered to install something like this for the "one time they want to change something"
I didn't know what to search for on the forum to see if this has been suggested in the past, feel free to post links to previous discussions if you know of any.
Although all settings are available in the help and online wiki https://www.ghisler.ch/wiki/index.php?title=Wincmd.inipetermad wrote: 2020-12-15, 00:48 UTC There are 527 settings in the [Configuration] section alone - they can not all go in the GUI settings.
