🪙 Name enhancements for tokens and groups

A more thoughtful approach to the naming of design tokens and groups as a community means our needs have changed. Here are some requests to consider around naming:

• When aliasing long tokens as the value in another token, the input in the plugin does not expand, making it very difficult to view the entire token name.

  • This is especially problematic when referencing multiple tokens within a math equation, gradient, color modifier, etc.

• Copy and pasting a token name (or full token path) is currently a multi-step process

  • When doing so through the Remap feature on the Inspect page, the plugin adds additional lines which break the name. (Github # 1955)

• In the inspect panel, selecting and deselecting individual tokens in groups would be a helpful feature (Github #1667)

• As a design token creator and maintainer if I know my naming convention I want to add that to a setting in the plugin to make creating new tokens a less manual process

💭 How might we...

Improve the user experience for working with tokens that have long names with special consideration to referencing alias tokens by name is a big part of the workflow.
