Excellent writeup by @prokoudine about redesigning menus of complex programs. I love this solution of using a menu with an integrated search bar, akin to having a command palette while still retaining logical grouping of actions.
Wish @libreoffice could have something like it.

@astrojuanlu @prokoudine Like this? (Added to LibreOffice a few major releases ago.)

@libreoffice @astrojuanlu That's not about just the searching through menus — GIMP has had that since 2010 in dev and since 2018 in a release. It's about having a substitution for menu (plus search) when you don't have one.

@prokoudine @astrojuanlu Ah, OK. You can submit an enhancement request at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org – But of course, we're a volunteer-driven project with very limited resources. So the best way to get a new feature is to join the community and help out, or fund developers! 😊

@libreoffice @prokoudine Yep, like that, thanks for the pointer. Kind of buried in the release notes, and its official docs don't feature any screenshot https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/shared/optionen/search_commands.html but good to know it exists
