Original report
What do you need?
I would like to propose an enhancement to the search functionality within the Omarchy Menu (activated via Super + Alt + Space).
The Problem / Current Behavior
Currently, when using the fuzzy search in the Omarchy Menu, it does not consistently display all matching menu items if they are nested under different top-level categories.
Example:
If I type the search term "keybinding" I will not be able to see any results cause they are under sub sections like:
- Setup > Keybindings
But I know an identical or related item exists under a different section, such as:
- Learn > Keybindings
This requires the user to know the exact path or navigate manually, which defeats the purpose of the fast, fuzzy-search-driven workflow.
The Proposed Solution / Desired Behavior
The search function should be enhanced to perform a comprehensive fuzzy match against the full path (or at least the full title) of every menu item and display all results that match the search term, regardless of their top-level category.
If I type "keybindings" the menu list should display both results simultaneously, allowing me to select the one I need using the arrow keys:
keybindings
- Learn > keybindings
- Setup > keybindings
Benefit
This enhancement directly supports the keyboard-centric philosophy of Omarchy by:
Improving discoverability: Users don't need to know the specific category where an option is located.
Boosting efficiency: Eliminates the need for guesswork or manually browsing menu sections.
Ensuring consistency: Provides a complete and predictable search result set every time
Can I try to work on this if no one is already working? 🙂
