There is for instance http://afiestas.org/appmenu-runner-meet-the-kde-hud/ http://afiestas.org/appmenu-runner-meet-the-kde-hud/ , and I bet there are similar tools for Gnome. However, from what I heard of Unity, it seems to be a hell of a work to keep/maintain it running for all kind of programs (regarding the different UI toolkits).
- aidenn0 6y agoRight. If KDE or Gnome were to automatically generate searchable actions as part of the toolkit, that would be enough to get me behind one of them as a toolkit.

- aidenn0 6y agoThat is for the desktop menu (like the windows start menu). Searching that is fairly widespread (Off the top of my head KDE, Gnome, Cinnamon, and XFCE all do it). I'm talking about the menu inside an application. For example, I want to change the printer settings in libre-office writer. That's under the "File" menu. Given that it has nothing to do with files, I don't look there. On a Mac I can search all application menu items from the "help" menu. Why can't I do that with all GTK3 applications? Or all Gnome applications if it's out-of-scope for GTK?
