Scoob got a reaction from _Th in searchable commands
Thanks everyone for the information (and support!) I did not know that Searchlight could search help menus but as I am also a Windows user, that does not help me. I am a VSCode user (and Emacs and Vim) which all have command lines. I find that tools with large numbers of commands (like Affinity) really benefit from this kind of user interface option. I would theorize that since these tools support Undo/Redo, they likely follow the "Command Pattern" (from the Gang of Four for you programmers) so it should not be horrible to offer a search capability because the commands within the system are implemented as more than just functions.

Hi @Scoob
In Affinity Photo the crop tool has this icon or press c on keyboard, and Affinity Designer has this icon

If you are on a Mac, you can search in the help menu, as @_Th hinted at.
If not, there is searchable online help here: https://affinity.help

If for any reason you haven't used this in Figma or VS Code (or similar), it works like Spotlight on Mac. (I use Windows, but love this about Macs.) In VS Code, you type Control-Shift-P; in Figma it's Control-/. You get a 'modal' popup to search just about any setting, command, operation, etc. Huge time saver. Did I mention that already?

I am an infrequent user of Affinity but I love having such a powerful tool. I wanted to do a simple cropping of a picture. It took forever for me to find the select tool. I was never able to find the crop command. I ended up creating a new file and pasting the selected area. If you had a capability of searching commands, I would have found it. This kind of thing of common in programmer text editors like vscode or atom. It would be wonderful here as well. If I've missed it, let me know! thanks!
