A new way of adding Items from the VS Toolbox to the current designer surface.
Hit a hot key -> Shows a Textinput field.
Start typing parts of an items name
the dlg shows all tools containing the typed string
enter -> add to form

    Idea: make use of the Findcombo in the VS toolbar!
    This combo already has extensive functionality (like goto line, goto file ...)

    Would be nice to make use of the find combobox in the vs standard toolbar:
    hit Ctrl + D to activate the find field
    type parts of the name
    hit e.g. Ctrl + T to display matching tools
    select one and press enter to add it to the active form

    Other idea: create a new VS "command" and a corresponding alias.
    Then you can type the command in the find combo OR in the command view:
