Feature Request: Enhanced Command Selection

[hoppfrosch]

Current Situation

Most commands and settings can be accessed via menus, hotkeys or toolbar items. As there are many commands its quite difficult to remember the hotkey or the location of a command within the menus.

Therefore I suggest a new method to find commands and execute them. The idea is taken from Notepad++

Feature Requests Searching Commands

• Implement a new command search toolbar with an edit field (similar to the quick search toolbar
• Typing within the new toolbar-edit-field opens an "Instant-Search-Result-Box"
• The "Instant-Search-Result-Box" contains all commands filtered on base of the entered text in the edit field (Entering Print list all commands containing Print ....)
• Selecting an entry from "Instant-Search-Result-Box" executes the corresponding command

This would it make way easier to find certain commands ...

This has been a part of AHK Studio for quite some time. Ctrl+Alt+O by default is called Omni-Search. You can add a prefix @ for menu items, { for classes, [ for methods, ( for functions, & for hotkeys, : for labels, + for auto add function calls, and # for bookmarks.

There are also shortcuts to have the prefixes auto filled in for you. They are Ctrl+(the prefix you want). Look for something in the special menu that has the word search in it to change the hotkeys.

Oh - great! Haven't seen this yet ... :-/

As I said: I like your lightning fast implementation time - this time you exceled yourself: your implementation was ready even before I asked for it! ;-)
