Type to find tool or command

Allow the user to begin typing the name or synonym for a tool or command in Maya, then have Maya present options to the user that are related to what's been typed in the field; i.e. start typing, "Box" to see options like, "Create Cube".

Yeah! Just like Tab Key in SideFX Houdini

 

@trevor.adams Till then, use THIS Command Search Tool 
Hotkey Python Script to Invoke it:

import commandSearch; commandSearch.focus()

This doesn't mean this Autodesk don;t develop it inbuilt. 😁

Thanks for submitting and voting on this idea. Maya now has a new Search option in the latest version, 2022.1. Search allows you type to find anything in your scene, any command or tool, and any python or MEL command. You can use synonyms to look for something you don't know the exact name for, plus you can add your own synonyms. Watch this video to get a full rundown of the features and benefits of our new Search tool in Maya 2022.1: https://youtu.be/RFh6rfYO2UA.
