Due to an annoying change in the way the search function works in Blender post-2.9, all operators now need to be attached to a menu somewhere in the interface to be visible in the search bar. You can change this however, if you go into Edit - Preferences, then in the Interface section tick 'Developer Extras'. The operator should be discoverable in the search function again.

This (and Intro To Coding) are the first videos I've ever seen that made me feel like I could actually wrap my head around this stuff- thank you SO much! I've watched so many of these and it all makes sense, then suddenly it feels like this person jumped ahead like 3 steps and I get lost. That said- probably a bad omen, but I'm stuck on the very first step?? I type "import" in the text editor and the syntax highlights it red. I've watched the first bit of this video 3 times and I legitimately don't know what I could have messed up? Do I need to have installed certain modules prior or something? If anyone has any thoughts, I would love to hear them!

@@fakecubed I did end up writing some stuff for personal use but never really finished it.

Another time I tried to write an addon that would create autosave backup texures from texture paint based on a few criteria, similar to the blender file autosave. In the end I got too confused with the context stuff and never finished either one of these.
