Description: Currently, the popup "Search Commands" only search by menu item. For example, searching for "right" yields "Format / Align Text / Right", but searching for "align" yields nothing. I propose that it should also search by sub-menu (such as "Align Text"). This makes it easier to discover related actions in the same sub-menu. For example, the user may search for "align" to see all available align options (left, centered, right). The same applies to sub-menu "Track Changes". The user who wants to turn on Track Changes function, but doesn't know the exact name of the command ("Record"). The user may try to search for "track" or "change". This improvement can show all commands in sub-menu "Track Changes". Steps to Reproduce: 1. select "Search Commands" in menu "Help" 2. type "align" into the input box Actual Results: no command was found Expected Results: result should includes items in sub-menu "Align Text": - Format / Align Text / Left - Format / Align Text / Centered - Format / Align Text / Right - Format / Align Text / Justified Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I tracked down the code in sfx2/source/commandpopup/CommandPopup.cxx and function MenuContentHandler::findInMenu. This looks like an EasyHack for me to start contribute to LibreOffice.
Makes sense.
