Fixes #65795

@roblourens confirmed in 2018 that adding "pane" as a synonym for "editor group" in settings search would be reasonable. Adds the keywords array (the documented search-synonym field on IConfigurationPropertySchema) to the three editor-group settings most directly affected:

  • workbench.editor.splitSizing
  • workbench.editor.splitOnDragAndDrop
  • workbench.editor.closeEmptyGroups

These are the settings where searching "pane" most obviously fails to surface relevant results today (each is described in terms of "editor group" / "splitting" but never uses the word "pane"). Searches that used "pane" terminology now return them via the existing keyword-search code path in preferencesSearch.ts.

Pull request overview

Adds “pane” as a settings-search synonym for a few editor-group related settings so that searching for “pane” surfaces the expected results in the Settings UI (leveraging the existing keywords search path).

Changes:

  • Add keywords: ['pane'] to workbench.editor.splitSizing.
  • Add keywords: ['pane'] to workbench.editor.splitOnDragAndDrop.
  • Add keywords: ['pane'] to workbench.editor.closeEmptyGroups.
