            Bug ID: 121121
           Summary: Implement a "Search and run command" dialog for quick
                    usage of menu, buttons and other UI elements
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nonedisponibile at gmail.com

Description:
This dialog would be brought up by an hotkey and would show one one-line
textbox on top and a listbox in the rest of the window.

The listbox contains a list of all the commands one can run (buttons, menu
items and sub-items, such as "Save", "Save As", "Export", ...), and this list
is filtered using the text input by the user in the textbox. For example, when
the textbox contains "fo", only commands matching /fo/ should be present in the
listbox (e.g. Format, Conditional formatting, format as number, format as
currency, ...). If the user then types "fo cu", only commands matching "fo" AND
"cu", such as "format as currency" would be left in the listbox.

Optionally, each item in the listbox could have on the far right the keyboard
shortcut(s) assigned to it, if any.

This kind of thing is already implemented in other programs with very large
user interfaces, like GIMP (where the shortcut to bring up the "search and run
command" dialog is the forward slash: / ). If you don't have a GIMP
installation handy, this video shows what this dialog should look like (at
minute 1:20) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIQdhq6cocA&t=80s
