On macOS and KDE (Wayland), they do! Agreed it's really handy.
- ranger_danger 2y agoWhat exactly makes an app a "KDE app"? Obviously a game with a custom UI is not going to have the same searchable menu, right?
- c-hendricks 1y agoI don't think I mentioned "KDE app" or games? KDE's Global Menu works with apps built with other toolkits than QT, and games are typically not considered apps. It would be cool if games did something similar though, I would love to be able to go into a games options and type "subtitles" to quickly find the option.
- ranger_danger 1y ago> KDE's Global Menu works with apps built with other toolkits than QT Their own wiki page says it does not: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_Issues https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland_Known_Significant_I... "Global Menu is not supported for non-Qt apps" But either way, I still disagree with your comment that "all GUI apps on macOS and KDE (Wayland) have searchable menus", because this requires a menu system that is exported via a specific DBus protocol (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75215820/how-to-implement-global-menu-support-in-c-on-linux https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75215820/how-to-implemen...), meaning it requires support from the application itself (possibly via some toolkit it uses), which IMO is demonstrably not "all apps".
