Description

Description of the new feature/enhancement

The actions list in the action settings dialog is large, and it's difficult to search for a specific item, so It would be useful to have some search feature, such as an input dialog which allows filter them by name.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add an input dialog at the top of the dialog which filters the actions list as the user typing.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the Actions dialog in the Terminal codebase, identify the model/view architecture, and implement a search filter in the UI that updates the list as the user types.
