> Olive is geared towards users who rely on shortcuts: all editing tools and common operations have them, and you can configure your own shortcuts (UI for that could do with more work though).

I wish all programs that rely heavily in shortcuts also had a search bar for users still not proficient with the program. The way Code Editors have been doing in the last years. Searching with a few keywords is much better than having to look through tons of menus for new users.

It should be a feature of the OS/desktop environment! MacOS has this feature (in the Help menu), and I've seen proposals to add it to GNOME. I thought KDE was also going to add it via krunner, but I haven't seen it yet.

Maybe, this feature request[0] would be implemented very soon ;-)

UPD: Added few mockups into description of feature request![0]

P.S.: Issue with saving customized shortcuts in Olive just fixed![1]

That's useful, but not what the guy above had in mind :)

You are looking for Blender's or GIMP's search and run command thing. E.g. https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/interface/controls...

[app4soft]

Well, could you write another one feature request to Olive issues tracker?

UPD: I just add such feature request[0], think it would be solved very soon, as such pop-up should be very similar to current "Keyboard" tab of "Preferences" dialog ;)

[prokoudine]

You already did that :)

Finally, Issue 265 fixed & "Action Search" pop-up menu added into Olive![0]

Issue 250 took 13 hours to be fixed. That's pretty great turnaround!

macOS users can install CheatSheet, which displays all the menu keyboard shortcuts associated with an app when you hold down the ⌘ key. It isn't a foolproof solution though because it only displays shortcuts that are associated with a specific menu item, but it's still a super handy tool, and it's free.

Or like Emacs's M-x, which is much older than the editors you probably have in mind.
