Add bulk parameter addition via suggested parameters (#654)

[tripcoded]

Problem

This PR addresses issue #654, where adding parameters one-by-one via the GUI was inefficient and time-consuming when multiple related parameters needed to be added.

Solution

A new “Add suggested parameters” button has been added to the Add Parameter dialog.

• The button is disabled by default
• It becomes enabled only when ≤ 15 filtered parameter suggestions are visible
• When clicked, all currently suggested parameters are added at once
• Existing single-parameter add behavior remains unchanged

This follows the approach suggested in the issue discussion and keeps the UI simple while significantly improving usability.

Notes

• No backend or data-model changes were required
• Behavior is limited to the parameter add dialog only
• Fully backward compatible

Thanks for the review!

This PR implements the approach discussed in the issue by enabling bulk addition when ≤15 suggested parameters are shown.

Happy to adjust the implementation or UI behavior if you’d prefer a different approach.

I did some fixes and force pushed to your repo. Please review and test

I did some changes, please test this. The button gets hidden under the parameter suggestions. Please fix that.

Hi @amilcarlucas,

Thanks for the fixes.

I’ve reviewed and tested the latest changes locally. The “Add” dialog now behaves correctly and the button is no longer hidden under the parameter suggestions.

Users can:

• Search/filter parameters in the add dialog
• Select one or multiple parameters (Ctrl / Shift)
• Add all selected parameters at once

Everything is working as expected on my end.
Please let me know if you’d like any further adjustments or refinements.

Thanks!

This now goes in a completely different direction than what I suggested, but I do like it, thanks.
I rebased it on master and squashed the commits again. Whatever LLM that you are using keeps messing code indentation.

Please learn to use "git rebase -i origin/master" to clean up.

When I press enter no parameter gets added, and I get:

  File "ardupilot_methodic_configurator\frontend_tkinter_parameter_editor_table.py", line 975, in _on_parameter_add
    def add_selected(_event: tk.Event | None = None) -> None:
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'NoneType'

Please fix that

Thanks a lot for the review and for rebasing/squashing the commits.
I see the issue now — the tk.Event | None annotation breaks on Python < 3.10. I’ll replace it with Optional[tk.Event] and ensure the Enter key is correctly bound so parameters are added as expected.
I’ll push the fix shortly and re-request review. Also noted on using git rebase -i origin/master — I’ll clean up my history properly next time.
Thanks again for the guidance!

Thanks for the review and for rebasing/squashing the commits.

I’ve fixed the Enter key issue and removed the tk.Event | None annotation entirely to ensure compatibility with Python < 3.10. The Enter key is now handled via a lambda binding, and parameters are added correctly without raising errors.

I also fixed the dialog closing logic to correctly handle both BaseWindow and tk.Toplevel.

I’ve tested locally:

Searching parameters

Selecting one or multiple parameters (Ctrl / Shift)

Adding via Enter key and via button

Please let me know if you’d prefer the handler to explicitly accept an event argument instead. Thanks again for the guidance.
