Search in application

Is there search functionality in VS like AI where we can search for tools, functions etc.?
-
Typing things into the help box can bring up a lot of stuff
-
@Boldline Text box not available in help. May be not available for Windows.
-
@Jayanta-Das Yes, it's Mac-only — the search field in the Help menu is made available for all apps by macOS, not by VS.

Yes, searching the menu is a Mac-only tool, no such tool on Windows.
How it is done in other apps on Windows?

This sounds like a new feature to be implemented
-
@vectoradmin This is how it works in AI.

It is an additional feature making learning resources etc. easier to find:
Learn faster with the Illustrator Discover PanelLearn how to work on the Discover panel and explore tools and articles within Illustrator.
The new Discover panel offers contextually relevant help and learning resources to quickly locate articles and work efficiently with the tools in Illustrator.
The panel gives you recommendations that improve speed and efficiency with Illustrator tools. These recommendations include tips and tutorials on how to get multi-step workflows done faster.

Just wondering if this feature "Search in application" is already available and if not if this will be implemented in the future.

Not available, and not planned for the next version

@VectorStyler Thanks for the quick response. Just an other question. Don't remember if I asked this before. But will there be a command line in the future. You can type in instructions. You have this in CAD software. This is very helpfull in making exact dimensions in your design.

Scripting and plugins are planned for the future.
