I really just wish GIMP (and Audacity now that I think about it) had a command palette, where I could type in the name of anything found in the menu or assigned to a keyboard shortcut. I don’t use both of them a lot so all of my time is spent search menus for what I am trying to do.

If you press the ‘/‘ key you can search the menus. Very useful. I use it all the time now :)

This looks to be exactly what I was looking for thank you!

oh my god that's amazing. can't believe I'm only finding out about this feature now

BTW, MacOS has this feature for menus in all apps: at the top of the ‘Help’ menu is a search field. Also invoked with cmd-? (i.e. cmd-shift-/ on my keyboard). The highlighted menu item is then triggered with ‘enter’—so for touch-typists this is way faster than using the mouse.

If you’re using the applications on Linux you can use HUDs like https://github.com/hardpixel/gnome-hud

Does Gimp use the correct api calls for that? I use it, but 90% of GTK apps do not show up.

I'm not sure the answer to your question specifically, but somewhat related is that GIMP invented GTK. (GTK formerly stood for GIMP toolkit)
