Brilliant. Refinements like this is why I love the Mac. All functions in all apps are condensed into the menu bar, and you can navigate the bar with a few keystrokes.

So is this like what Ubuntu's Unity did years ago, making all an app's menus searchable? Seemed like the smartest new feature at the time, though I never really got a chance to use it. And I don't have a mac to test this on and can't quite picture what it does from the description. Certainly I'll take anything that avoids the "is it under View or Windows or Edit???" hunt.
You type ⌘+⇧+/ (⌘+?) and the help menu opens with the search box highlighted by default. Anything you type in here will search through the menus. using arrow keys or ctrl+n/p will move through the suggests and each menu suggestion is pointed out with an animated hovering pointer. Just press enter to activate the highlighted action.
