Brings the ⇧⌘P command palette pattern from VS Code to literally every macOS app — fuzzy search through any menu bar item without ever opening the menu. Once it's installed, that part of the brain that says "what's the shortcut for…" gets replaced with "type three letters." Works across Mail, Pages, Safari, niche utilities — anywhere there's a menu.
