@neauoire my favorite pattern for self-documenting software: standard toolbar (that is also keyboard navigable w/ alt) with keyboard shortcuts listed next to the menu entries. i believe blender does this (blender generally has a quite good ui, blender can be confusing but i don't think the ui is to blame). 5 comments
  @calutron Well orca's help menu is that list of each operators, which is not going to change, but it will have an extra menu at the top of the application with dropdowns exposing everything that the application can do.  @neauoire @binarycat What I really like also on macOS was that we could fuzzy search in the Help menu and it would show us in which submenu the entry is hidden. Useful when you know what you're looking for, but you don't remember where it is. @narF @binarycat I won't be building apps that can do so many things that you need a find tool to locate the subsubsub-menu. |

@binarycat yup, that's what I'm going to do :) It's also my favourite way to discover what an application can do.
I've done it here, now it's a matter of doing it in assembly: https://hundredrabbits.github.io/Dotgrid
