        <title>Feature Request: Global Search Bar for Functions (Quick Search like Blender)</title>
        <description>PureRef offers a wealth of powerful features, but it is often difficult to memorize every single shortcut.

Today, while trying to find the &amp;quot;Crop Reset&amp;quot; function, I had to go through several steps: Right-click -&amp;gt; Settings -&amp;gt; Search &amp;quot;Crop&amp;quot; -&amp;gt; Find the shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C) -&amp;gt; Finally use the shortcut. This interrupts the creative workflow.

I would like to suggest a &amp;quot;Quick Search&amp;quot; feature, similar to the one in Blender (F3), to streamline this process:

Search Trigger (e.g., F3): Pressing a hotkey opens a &amp;quot;Quick Search&amp;quot; bar.

Instant Execution: Typing a keyword (e.g., &amp;quot;Crop&amp;quot;) shows a list of related functions. Users can then select a function with the arrow keys and execute it immediately by pressing Enter.

Memory Feature: When the search bar is opened again, the last executed command should be pre-selected for quick repetitive use.

This feature would allow users to access any function instantly without diving into menus or memorizing dozens of shortcuts.

Thank you for considering this suggestion!

            <description><![CDATA[&quot;Oh, it was already there! Since F3 is the standard shortcut for &#039;Search&#039; in many other programs, I think it would be great if F3 could be the default as well.&quot;<br />
<br />
and<br />
&quot;I use PureRef in Korean. I would like to be able to search in English even when the language setting is changed to another language in the Command Palette.<br />
<br />
Currently, it only searches in the set language, but I would like it to be able to search in both English and the set language.<br />
<br />
Current:<br />
<br />
US: &quot;crop&quot; =&gt; crop<br />
<br />
Another Language: &quot;crop&quot; =&gt; nothing<br />
<br />
Another Language: &quot;자르기&quot; =&gt; 자르기      // (Korean for &#039;crop&#039;)<br />
<br />
Request:<br />
<br />
Another Language: &quot;crop&quot; =&gt; 자르기&quot;]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Thank you for the suggestion! PureRef does have a rudimentary <a href="https://www.pureref.com/handbook/navigation/#command-palette" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">Command palette</a> that you can access either with the shortcut or just typing in the right click menu. It is a bit hidden so we would love to hear your feedback on it if you find it useful!<br />
<br />
Would you say that F3 is the standard shortcut for this?]]></description>
