Help menu ?

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

What's the easiest way to call the Help menu ?

I'm trying to use it as a way to call commands hidden in menus that either don't come with a shortcut or have a shortcut I don't remember.

→ Call Help, Type a few letters (like "Pref") navigate to "Prefix" (or type "ix") then hit Enter.

I'm thinking of it as a kind of ad-hoc autocompletion. Similar to what emacs has after you hit M-x: you don't need to remember the function shortcut, just its name (or a part of its name, or just try a word that you think should be there, etc.)

The "Commands" command on the Go menu does exactly this; give it a try.

Enjoy,

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.

The Go → Commands… function (⇧⌘U) sounds like what you want.
Give it a try?

Rich, Ryan,

Cool stuff :)

Too bad my Meta key is Cmd, I would have loved to replace S-Cmd-U with M-x ;)
