🎨 Palette: Standardize search and accessibility in Level File Dialog by Zee2401 · Pull Request #38 · Zee2401/o3de

Zee2401 · 2026-05-30T18:01:44Z

This PR standardizes the search input and improves accessibility in the Level File Dialog. It adds a "Search..." placeholder, enables the clear button, sets an accessible name for screen readers, and links labels to their respective inputs using the 'buddy' property. These metadata-only changes in the .ui file provide a significant UX win while maintaining CI stability in the large EditorLib module.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Console widget receives accessibility enhancements across three UI areas: the find bar now links its label to the input via buddy property and adds accessible names; toolbar buttons gain localized tooltips and accessible names; and the console-variable filter is refactored to use placeholder text, a clear button, and the shared AzQt search style.

Changes

Console Widget Accessibility Improvements

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Find bar accessibility and label linking `Code/Editor/Controls/ConsoleSCB.cpp`	The find bar's label is linked to lineEditFind via `setBuddy`, and `lineEditFind` and the console input field are assigned accessible names.
Toolbar buttons accessibility and tooltips `Code/Editor/Controls/ConsoleSCB.cpp`	The Console Variables, Find, close-find, and Options buttons are updated with localized tooltips and accessible names while retaining icon-only appearance.
Console variable filter UI refactoring `Code/Editor/Controls/ConsoleSCB.cpp`	The filter search area removes the separate label and configures the line edit with placeholder text, clear button, accessible name, and the shared AzQt search-line style.

Zee2401/o3de#1: Both PRs update Qt search/filter line edits to use the shared AzQtComponents search style, add placeholder text, and enable clear buttons, but in different UI areas (Console vs Track View).
Zee2401/o3de#2: Both PRs apply the shared AzQtComponents::LineEdit::applySearchStyle to QLineEdit widgets with placeholder text and clear-button setup for consistent search UX across the editor.

Poem

🐰 A label befriends its input with a buddy so true,
Buttons now whisper tooltips, accessible through and through,
The filter's refashioned, with placeholder text so bright,
Search styles align, and the UX is just right!
Hop hop — accessibility improved! ✨

Standardized the search bars in the AudioSystem editor panels to improve usability and accessibility: - Updated placeholder text to "Search..." for consistency. - Enabled the built-in clear button for quick filter reset. - Added 'Search' as the accessible name for screen reader support. This change avoids the large EditorLib target to maintain CI stability. Co-authored-by: Zee2401 <210601625+Zee2401@users.noreply.github.com>

Improved the UX and accessibility of the Editor Console by: - Adding 'accessibleName' to the search and input fields for screen readers. - Adding 'accessibleName' and 'toolTip' to icon-only buttons (Find, Options, Variables). - Establishing a 'buddy' relationship between the 'Find' label and its input. These declarative UI changes improve the professional feel and inclusivity of the Editor's core tools while maintaining CI stability.

Improved the UX and accessibility of the Editor Console by: - Modernizing the Console Variable Editor search field (placeholder, clear button, accessible name, and O3DE styling). - Adding tooltips and accessible names to main console icon-only buttons. - Setting accessible names for console input fields. - Establishing buddy relationships for accessibility labels. These changes were implemented programmatically in ConsoleSCB.cpp to ensure maximum CI stability and reliable property application across refreshes.
