New feature request for parameters

[shannonwarren]

Loving the new parameter search functionality in the latest update. Was hoping for one more enhancement: a toggle switch or checkbox for true/false parameters instead of manual entry.

@shannonwarren, to clarify, do you want a filter that shows only parameters where the value type is boolean?

[shannonwarren]

More like a checkbox for all boolean parameters similar to what rqt has. Image attached.

Thanks for the screenshot, that's interesting - where did the dropdown options for "size" come from? Are those declared with the parameter somewhere?

AFAIR, the dynamic_reconfigure node latches a ~/parameter_descriptions topic of type dynamic_reconfigure/ConfigDescription which encodes these "enum" values.

Yep you're right. Reference of the screenshot: https://automaticaddison.com/ros-parameters-and-the-dynamic_reconfigure-package-in-ros-noetic/
