Description kentallenduke 2016-10-18 18:45:05 UTC
To quote from the URL:

"Called 'HUD,' or 'Head-Up Display,' the new interface is designed to recognize users' intent in interacting with the desktop rather than forcing them to navigate a rigid menu system to get things done."




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press hotkey to start the HUD
2. The user types whatever they want from the application.
3. Wait for the HUD to return results.

Actual Results:  
Feature isn't implemented

Expected Results:  
The HUD outputs the menu the user wants along with suggestions, saving time from looking into the application menus.

The Unity HUD feature in Ubuntu is quite useful. I often get lost in the menus quite often, so searching up the option I need (for example, in Libreoffice, I always forget where the option to include headers in the document is in the menu). I was thinking maybe this could be integrated into the “Search” plasmoid, but it’ll be nice however way.

Change your application launcher to "Application Dashboard"

The Unity HUD actually searches through the app menu (like the AppMenu runner). It will be implemented in one form or another once I figure out the global menu stuff. (I even have a working prototype)
