Hey Mika,

It's great to see you person share my needs as well.
I built Tito for GIMP a couple of years ago for the same purpose.

Here is a demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0PuH1LFWhA
I even blogged about it: http://sriharisriraman.in/blog/2013/09/15/gimp-tito

Good thing is that Jehan is now helping in getting this into master.
You can see the progress on that in the feature request here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708174

And I think I am done with it. :-)
Please have a look at your cleaned patch + mine. If you're happy with
it, the best to go on would be to bug Mitch for review on IRC. :p

Jehan

If you are a developer, please do join in! it would be great to have
another collaborator on this.

Hello Gimp Developers,

I have been using GIMP for some time. I'm using it for logos, cards, photo
editing etc. I as many others at my workplace I find it a bit hard to find
the correct tool for a certain job. GIMP's overwhelming collection of tools
is a bit hard to search through with mouse in the big menu structure.

I got to thinking that there is a great solution for this in a coding IDE I
use for work. Its global command and action search. I am talking about
IntelliJ IDEA and its ctrl-shift-a quick search.

Here is a picture of what I mean.

Possibly it could be context sensitive. Also if you could change the
context with some extra keys or mouse work while the search is on, I
suspect it would be really helpful. Ofcourse also provide the keyboard
shortcuts in the menu, so users can use the tool to learn those also.

What do you think?

Anyhow hope you find the time to finalise the discussion on this idea and
it finds its way to GIMP Release soon. I would try to find some time to
help design the solution and I suspect a few others also from my workplace
could help with some ideas also.
