I tried it. The first week I shared your opinion. But then something flipped. I configured and learned hotkeys to hide the file/services/... pane and ended up with something I can only describe as 'calm'. Only 1 or 2 panes of code visible, and all functions hidden but available. The main detractor is indeed the hamburger menu. Vscode had ctrl-p, emacs has alt-x, and both provide a way to search for some function to execude. I hope Jetbrains is hiding something similar in its innnards, but haven't found it yet. Ctrl ctrl isn't it, at least for me. I went all-in on Jetbrains Ultimate last year without regrets. The thing is great and powerfull, but it is hard to find what you need in there, and hard to find out what is the purpose of some functionality. I've actually lost usefull functionality: Something usefull but I don't remember the name and can't find it in the menus. I should spend some time spellunking in there. Even so, I hope they find something better than the hamburger or the zillion hotkeys.

Jetbrains has Double Shift and Ctrl+Shift+A.

  Thanks, all of you.

    I played with it, meanwhile, and it's not really 'it'. E.g. settings gives me 4 different options, all doing different things. emacs and vscode treat this function as a primary entry to the functionality, and have tuned the names and namespacing to this kind of usage. E.g. vscode has micropython:configure project. This is a search function for the existing gui with reuse of existing names. As the surrounding context is lost, it is hard to say what a name means.

I like the new UI as well. There's always a learning curve, but after using it for months I haven't found any reason to switch back. ctrl+ctrl is "run anything" (I tend to use ctrl+alt+r for the different but similar run menu instead). I think what you want is "Actions" - which is default to "shift shift" and then click on a tab, or (ctrl/cmd)+shift+a to jump directly to that tab.

Interestingly in the JetBrains emacs keybindings set, alt-x does exactly what you want. So, it's bindable, and you can use it in ANY keybinding, emacs or not.

Ctrl-Shift-A, or something. There is a dialog with universal search for actions, files, classes....
