Center and zoom in when select from search panel
Description
Currently when selecting a component from the search panel, the corresponding component in the schematic is highlighted, but the highlighting is very subtle, and is difficult for the user to identify in the schematic especially when the schematic is large with numerous items. It would be very helpful if, after selecting an item in the search panel, the schematic can center on the selected item in the schematic and (optionally) zoom in. Although a cosmetic feature, it would greatly help in terms of productivity.
Steps to reproduce
- Menu > View > Show Search Panel
- Select an item in the search panel
- The item in the schematic is highlighted but the schematic is not centered on the item. The item is just subtly highlighted and not easy to locate.
