context menu of MSO

recently MSO added a command search field into the context menu.

LibO has added a nicely search command. The "problem" is, that the command isn't that visible at the UI, cause it's hidden at menubar -> help -> .. and at tabbedbar the command isn't visible at all.

As MSO added the command at the context menu (see attachment) I would suggest to add the search for uno command also at the context menu. So it's available always and doesn't depend on the UI Layout.

Currently the command searches the main menu only. Bug 150814 requests to search in all comments, bug 150813 in all attributes of commands. I wonder a) if starting the search from a context menu makes sense (as the name says it is about the context) and b) if it is easy to understand. My take therefore: WF.

OTOH, MSO shows the function and it might be of use.
Comment 2 andreas_k 2022-09-29 13:33:20 UTC
As MSO show the function and LibO has the option available and also miss some prominent area to show the command search function I propose to have it at the context menu.

MSO has the serach function very promise already available and LibO - had in the past - searched for a promise position, I asked for this request.

What use case do you solve with this function? Likely not searching through the commands in the context menu ;-)
