For the latter you make a special “dialog” that has all the features in a single list. You make it anyway, because it’s a part of ui customization menu, but this one is separate, for search uses.
- nine_k 2y agoHave you tried pressing the "/" key, BTW? It's an easier way to search.
- wruza 2y agoPressing where, in gimp? I was talking about an average app with customizable ui. But in general, search can’t replace a list because search is not discoverable. You can only search for what you know and remember and you may not remember e.g. “Morphology…” until you see it in that section, how was it again. More generally, and just as a tangential sentiment, I don’t understand the last decade trends of dumbing down apps and removing (/not adding) features because X is enough. Back in the day we had full dialogs called by a shortcut and having searches, menu builders, etc. Nowadays everyone tries to sell only a shortcut, or only a filter, or only nothing. But why-y? Humans have multiple mechanisms of memory and orientation (and these may heavily vary across population) and people are throwing it away deliberately.
