Total Commander

It would be a nice addition to TC add the feature Quicksearch for menus and commands.

It should be similar to TC's quicksearch of files, but will search for menu items, cm_ and em_ commands. I'm aware of the command browser, but it's use is limited to commands only, and it takes too many steps to find/select a command.

Adobe's Indesign has already similar feature, called quickapply, which, among other, allows to search for menu items.

With growing base of TC's commands, and use of Extended or custom menus, I think that this feature will be very useful for fast locating the wanted menu item/command.

It should'n be hard to implement, actually the search will have to index only the menu file, Totalcmd.inc, Usercmd.ini and part od wincmd.ini where the user menu is.

What do you think?

Actually the quick search in cm_commandbrowser works exactly like that - just type a few characters, and it will search both in the command and the description of cm_* and em_* commands.

Yes, but currently there is no way to directly execute the chosen command from the browser. If you could expand the possibilities of the browser with this option I think it will suffice.

When you choose a command in the command browser with ENTER, it will be copied to the clipboard. You can then paste it to the TC command line and press ENTER to execute it.

I'm aware of that, but it takes few extra steps (selecting commandline and pasting) and losing the clipboard content. If you could add possibility for directly execute the chosen command with ctrl+Enter or some similar (configurable) key combination, it would be good solution.
