About

The menus of the app you’re in, searchable from the palette, as Raycast’s Search Menu Items has it. In any app, open the palette, choose Search Menu Items and type part of an item (“export”, “view zoom”). Return chooses it. Each row shows where the item lives (File › Export) and its keyboard shortcut, so you learn them as you go. The items you choose most rank higher for that app.

Every command is in Stackbar's palette, and can have its own hotkey, a stackbar:// link, or a Shortcuts action.
