Description Jesse 2020-02-01 10:10:13 UTC
Description:
I would like to request that LibreOffice add a command palette functionality. It can be really tedious searching through all the drop-down menus to find the command I need. I tried to add a footnote and it took me 15 minutes and a Google search. In Google Docs I can use Alt-/, it brings up a search, and I type "footn" and hit enter, and bam! footnote.

Something similar would be *lovely*. Thank you!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to search for a command and get frustrated
2. Try to google and get overwhelmed with irrelevant information
3. Provide a feature request for command palette

Actual Results:
NA

Expected Results:
A hotkey brings up a search bar and provides possible matches for a command search request. Then hitting enter on the chosen command executes it.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Jesse, I think this shortcut still exists: F1 (help). I press F1, insert "footnote" and the third entry within the results is about "Fottnotes - inserting and editing". So for me, this is exactly what you proposed.

So why this isn't sufficient?
