+1, would like this too. IIRC we used to have KRunner runner for this. What about Gnome apps? Plotinus is hack and doesn't work with flatpak, but it's the only solution available. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the Unity-derived HUDs. The sad thing is that Gnome apps aren't using GMenu to expose all their actions (not just the handful in the hamburger), which solve the problem of them missing HUDs and global menus on all platforms. Is there there anything that can be done to persuade Gnome architects to persuade more Gnome app devs to use GMenu? I'd ask myself, but I don't know enough about the issue and they don't look kindly on random people giving them suggestions. This has been implemented in the app menu on Plasma 5.22. |
Created attachment 119749 [details] Searching the menu bar on a Mac macOS's menu bar offers a very helpful search feature, it would be nice to have that in KDE too. The way it works is that there's a search field in the "Help" menu. That searches both the documentation and the menu bar items. When a menu bar item in the search results is highlighted, it will show you where exactly to find it. I attached a video of what that looks like.
