Suggestion for Script Search Menu in After Effects

Hey Community,

I don’t like having to search for scripts under the Window tab every time. I’d prefer a search menu similar to the Effects menu, where I can simply type the script name or have them organized by categories. When you have multiple comps open, it can take quite a while to find the right script, especially since you only have those small up and down arrows to navigate.

Best regards,
Mischel

^^This. It's crazy. There absolutely should be a native script launcher to organize and run scripts. As part of that, if there was a way to paste and run scripts that would be amazing too.  I run AE and Sublime Text side-by side all the time now, but it should be easier, especially when developing and testing.

Yes it's frustrating, or maybe just put them all in a sub- menu right after "Extensions".
