Hi. First off, love the improvements to the new version. 
Like many others, I’m sure I have a lot of glyphs. I have mine sorted by creator (github repos symlinked into the Scripts folder) but I have a hard time remembering who’s created which script. One can use the Help menu to search, but that finds too many results (especially with simple search terms). Maybe a similar window at the top of the Script drop-down menu?
Thanks.
What would the search in the script menu do differently then the one in the help menu (other then omitting the other menus)?
Honestly, that’s pretty much it. It’s just when you’re searching for something like “open,” you get a lot of hits elsewhere. My current workflow is searching the Scripts folder in Finder. Inefficient, but doable.
What I did is I set a keyboard shortcut for the help menu. And I am trying to give my scripts typical names that are not too close to other commands.
Someone could build a “Command Launcher” kind of like spotlight where you press a keyboard shortcut, a popup with a textfield comes up and you type something and it “intelligently” displays a list of commands. If it would remember you preferences…
Hey Rainer, how did you do that? If I set a shortcut it only opens the help, not the searchbar. Can you upload the script? Thank you, Kai
The help menu has a search field that is active right away when you open the menu, you just start typing. Does this not work for you?
I use Paletro ($6.99) for this kind of thing. It’s somewhat like the search in the help menu, but it remembers the recent searches and can be invoked very quickly with a shortcut. And you can run not only scripts, but call any command from the application menu.
That looks tasty. That has prompted me to search for an Alfred plugin that does exactly this: Alfred Gallery • Workflows • Menu Bar Search
That way, there’s no need to install another spotlight-style replacement. I set the hotkey to be a Cmd double-tap, that way you don’t need to enter a keyword.
