Searching Menu Items in OS X Leopard 1

A few months ago, I posted an entry about being able to search your menu items and how it can be useful. Well, it seems that OS X Leopard actually has this feature now.

Searching Safari menu items in Leopard.

So, by going to the Help menu you can actually search for a phrase and if that phrase appears in the menu items, it highlights it for you. And the blue arrow actually animates by moving slightly.

Of course, this would be more useful with a keyboard shortcut. And the keyboard shortcut that you are looking for is ⇧ ⌘ /. In case those symbols did not show up properly, they're Shift + Command + /.

    Damn that's cool. Just tried it in Vienna and Safari. I'll have to see if it works in Adobe apps... I have so many shortcut keys memorized I can never remember where the actual menu items are when I'm trying to explain how to do something to someone else :).
