When I expand the Modules to show all modules, it occupies my entire screen, but it is not a full list, nor I can expand or scroll. This is on a laptop with 4K screen. I suspect it is something to do with the scaling [image]

I wonder if we should just remove that menu. Do you ever find it useful?

Alernately, a scroll bar might do the trick. Sometimes browsing is helpful to me, if I don’t remember the exact name of the module.

Wow, cool! I think it would be great to replace the Ctrl/Cmd-F combobox with this dialog.

The implementation is ready (see pull request ). I find that the new module selector works really well: it makes it much easier to browse and find modules and it does not require more clicks than the combobox that it replaced. Since “All modules” submenu is not needed anymore, the module selector is …
