Looks great and useful. :+1:

One thing that comes to mind is, what if in the shader editor’s side bar there is the list of all the mateilrials in the scene and when clicking on so we can edit it. This way we don’t have to do a material search by pressing Alt+M?

Cheers

Thank you!
That’s a great idea, then there could also be a last edited history or favorites or something.
It’s definitely on my to-do list.
Have a nice day!
