Display function group in scripting index and make it clickable

What inspired this wish list request? 

Slowly (but surely) getting more and more frustrated with the user experience of scripting index.

 

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

I would like to see ALL the function groups (is it currently possible to have more than one?) which the current function belongs to and be able to click it. When I click it would then apply filtering based on that.

 

Let's assume I wish to look for New Window from scripting index

I would like to have a link below New Window which would select from the left list "Display". So after pressing that, I would end up with something like this

Where it would best fit is up to you, but I would be happy with something like this (I added Function Groups below New Window).

Also just auto-selecting Display instead of All Functions when searching could be nice but this should be a preference).

 

This comes even more helpful if I go to the scripting index from script editor by pressing alt+double click as it cannot do the "group" filtering at all (Make category auto-update when using the shortcut to open Scripting Index from Script Editor ).

 

Why is this idea important? 

Scripting Index is the best documentation for JSL but it can be difficult to utilize.There are many features and tips/tricks which aren't obvious (which is why I wrote this blog postFrom Jarmo's desk: Using the Scripting Index as your JMP® search )
