I would like to have a field with icons, auto-list of values (no multiselect) that I could populate very quickly via F2, F2 (Pop-Up List).
 
As it stands now, if there is an image from the iconset of InfoQube, it will display correctly in the grid because of the img HTML-tag. However, as far as the Pop-Up List, neither the image, nor the name of the file is displayed.
 
A perfect solution would be to have an HTML-enabled Pop-Up List that displays the icon AND also supports filter-as-you-type based on the name of the image in the Pop-Up List as well as in the Column-Filter (Ctrl+G).

This is a great idea ! 
I've implemented it in v83. It is not possible however to filter-as-you-type based on the image name
It also works for multi-select pop-up lists, so it is an easy way to add multiple icons to a field-value
 
HTH !

Very good, Pierre! Looking forward to it!
 
I found a work-around could be to have 3 fields. Fully functional, drawback being having to recalculate the main field after you have entered a value, but with remapping of the shorcut to alt+a it's not that bad.
 
1. Main field where the icon is to be displayed. It has a dropdown which is List of Items Pop-up pulling the data from a dedicated Grid with the names of the icons in it (for filter as you type filter). The field has also a Row Equation with "Second field" as Input. There are Auto-Assigns for the Second field as well to add html tags to the text and save it there and auto-assign for the third field to store just the text.
2. Second one which is the result of the auto-assign and stores the <img>...</img>, a.k.a. the visible icon (could be hidden in the grid)
3. Third one which stores just the name of the icon (for Ctr+G filter) (could be hidden in the grid)
