🌜Theme management (pro) enhancements

As more of our community uses themes and theme groups to manage variables they have expressed some enhancements to improve their workflow:

• Add affordances to make selecting many token sets faster when creating or editing themes within theme groups

• Add affordances to search for a particular theme within the select menu

  • When managing 10+ brands the list gets long and hard to navigate

• Add a new token to all token sets related to each other in a theme

  • If I add a token in my dark-theme, also create it in my ligh-theme

• When I change the name of a theme group, I want it to save by clicking outside the input without any performance issues to the plugin ( Github # 2309)

• Open to change the name of a token (or group) that exists in all token sets within a theme group

  • If I change the name of a token in my dark-theme, also change it in my light-theme

• Themes are configured for plugin users, and those configurations often need to be changed when working with variables, or style dictionary. Could there be config profiles for easier applying of settings?

• When I delete all sets in a theme, I would like to be aware. I might not understand the implications of my actions. If this is a critical issue, I'd like an easy way to undo it.

• Add possibility to duplicate a theme (and the selected sets) to easily create a new theme.

• See the number of Variables that have been linked / attached instead of 'No Variables Created', which is what shows as the variables were already there, but were somehow unlinked. (Github issue #2925)

😬 The reality

The themes feature was created before variables was released and now that the community is using themes differently, the original features and functions are not always meeting their needs.
