@bbedward do I need to regenerate settings_search_index.json myself, or does that happen at build/runtime?

edit: looks like it's in git so I guess I do it.

settingKey: "audioScrollMode"
tags: ["media", "music", "scroll"]
options: Object.keys(scrollOpts).sort()
currentValue: {
Object.keys(scrollOpts).find(key => scrollOpts[key] === SettingsData.audioScrollMode) ?? "volume"
}
onValueChanged: value => {
SettingsData.set("audioScrollMode", scrollOpts[value])
}
}
}
}
