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 :)

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

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.
