If you want something similar in OS X right now (though not with super-fuzzy matching like this seems to have) you can just use the search box in the help menu to search for menu items.
It looks like this, and you can press return to activate the item: http://i.imgur.com/uJPgD.png http://i.imgur.com/uJPgD.png
I've mapped Ctrl+M to move me there instantly with Keymando:
map "<Ctrl-m>" do
send('<Ctrl-F2>')
send('<left>')
send('<down>')
end
EDIT: Turns out there's already a shortcut for this: Ctrl-Shift-/. XCode overrides it though, so I'll be keeping my mapping.
EDIT 2: Ah, yeah, it's Cmd, not Ctrl. I still like my two-key version though.
- felideon 15y agoCmd, not Ctrl. Cmd-? (? as in help)
- navs 15y agoqsb-mac, which I think is now dead, was great because it allowed you to access menu items for any app with minimal fuss. Quicksilver also has a plugin called 'User interface+' that gives you the same option. Combined with proxies for current application, its a powerful tool. Great alternatives to cmd+Shift+/ which can be really slow especially on browsers where menu items include history and bookmarks.
- miles_matthias 15y agoOne big downside to cmd+shift+/ is that it doesn't work with full screen apps.
- ashishgandhi 15y agoIt's not Control it's Command. Command + ? And I generally always use this to find something buried inside menus. But then usually after that, everything has a shortcut of it's own on OS X.
