Description: Would it be possible to add a shortcut icon to the Tabbed Notebook to Launch the 'Command Popup HUD' that is currently assigned as Ctrl+F1. With the classic menu interface there is a shortcut that can be navigated to. This does not exist for the Tabbed Notebookbar Interface. This request was discussed with Andreas Kainz who agreed this would be a good idea. As there is no shortcut in the Tabbed interface the discoverability of this important feature is practically Zero. I am attaching a screenshot to this request for a possible location that the icon could be assigned to. A similar request has been raised on the LibreOffice Sub Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/libreoffice/comments/nbb58n/libreoffice_72_brings_universal_search_commands/ Steps to Reproduce: 1.Switch to the Tabbed Notebookbar interface using 'Tip of the day' or navigate to UI switcher. 2.Attempt to use the new HUD feature that you have heard about through the release notes. 3. Relaise you have no idea how to use this feature, then give up and feel disappointed. Actual Results: Understand that an important usability feature is not available in the Interface paradigm that you choose to use. Expected Results: Have an easily discoverable icon that would direct you to the Command HUD Popup interface. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: This would be a very usefulfeature to aid in the discoverability of this important new functionality in LibreOffice and provide parity with the 'classic' menu.

(In reply to John Mills from comment #1) > Created attachment 173005 [details] > Possible icon location for Shortcut to launch the HUD > For now, while Tomaž decides how best to complete the feature, the appropriate action is to add the 'Search Co~mmands Ctrl+F1' to each of the MUFFIN NBs 'Help' assemblage buttons. On the Tabbed NB that is on the 'File' tab. The Command popup HUD is not ready for an UNO control for NB/TB button assignment, nor use in keyboard or menu customization. Alternatively, just toggle the fully functional 'Main' menu exposed and pick from 'Help' there as documented in the feature.

But since NB customization remains marginal, this still requires change to source to provide a button action. =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/115380
I would like to see this made available. Most users on Windows use the Tabbed UI. it would be nice to make the HUD easily visible so that this feature can be more frequently used.
