When you click on a package in the Installed list (in Install/Uninstall Packages) it should show which palette it's in.? It does in Delphi.

If you want to implement it and you need help, do not hesitate to ask.

Not me, I know NOTHING about Laz internals, I just use Laz to develop apps.? Someone who does know could probably do this in minutes.? And how would one go about learning the internals? ?
It's important to make Laz easier for beginners, and it's not always obvious which palette a component is on as it is in Delphi. ?

See units InstallPkgSetDlg and ComponentPalette.
The code browsing features help learning it.

Some notes:

Where a component is:
Right click on components / View all

What components are installed by a package:
Open the package editor, select a file.

Many (most) packages do not install components.
