The Edit Instance menu on atoms is used frequently in SS13 and I imagine other BYOND games, to modify the names and ID tags and so on.

Because the window can't be searched (or even 'press N to go to first var starting with N') it means you need to scroll through the list of vars to find what you want to modify.

I believe this menu could be improved in a few ways, in descending value:

- Render in text with formatting, where you can ctrl-F to your hearts content:
/atom/var/name = "name"
/atom/var/desc = "This is a thing"
/atom/var/tag = "tag"
/atom/obj/var/obj_flags = 0

- Search function at the top of the window (type 'nam', sorts var/name to the top)

- Toggle to hide all vars matching base type (would only show modified vars, currently displayed boldfaced)
