Command Palette / Panel / Bar

Sublime & Visual Code are text editors that are used to develop applications. One of the favorite functions is "Command Palette" which is activated with the Ctrl + Shift + P keys. This shows a text field at the top, from which almost any program command is invoked, as well as opening files and many other functions. One of the features is that it is not necessary to write the entire command, you can use only the first letters of two words and the results are listed. Visual Code is open source and you can surely study that functionality in your github account

Imagine this functionality in each of the Adobe CC programs :D

    Yes please.

    This should search all menu items and all tools, regardless of origin.

    Native tool? It's in there.

    Plugin tool? It's in there.

    Native menu item? Plugin menu item? It's in there.

    Stuff you've installed in the Scripts menu? It's in there.

    My toolbar is overflowing. What was that plugin tool that does exactly what I need? I think its name had 'collide' in it? Oh hey yes I have a couple menu items with that word in it and a tool called 'colliderscribe' and it looks like I assigned a shortcut of shift-t to it for some reason and this is what its icon is in the toolbar and if I select it in the results list and hit return it's now the active tool.

    It would be super helpful if Illustrator had a search field for tools like in photoshop. search for a tool then click it to use

    Someone warned me to post this feedback/request to here. :)

    It would be great to have an IN APP COMMAND BAR to;

    access each menus and options from NAV BAR in all ADOBE TOOLS especially PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR, IN DESIGN..

    This will save much time most of the experienced user when creating visuals.

    With a simple key combination (COMMAND+SHIFT+P); a COMMAND BAR appears to reach quicky to menu item with text writing. Eg: COMMAND+SHIFT+P.

    Please see SCREENSHOT I attached.

    Sublime & Visual Code son editores de texto que se ocupan para desarrollar aplicaciones. Una de las funciones favoritas es "Command Palette" el cual es activado con las teclas Ctrl + Shift + P. Esto muestra un campo de texto en la parte superior, desde el cual se invocar practicamente cualquier comado del programos, asi como abrir archivos y muchas otras funciones. Una de las caracteristicas es que no es necesario escribir todo el comando se puede utilizar solo las primeras letras de dos palabras y se enlistan los resultados. Visual Code es de codigo abierto y seguramente se pueda estudiar esa funcionalidad en su cuenta github

    Imaginen esta funcionalidad en cada uno de los programas de Adobe CC
