When I'm searching for what hotkey does what I go to (in Eeschema, for instance): Help --> List Hotkeys.... and see this (see attached).
It would be nice if there was a search box there to fuzzy search the hotkeys for any keyword of interest in order to quickly jump to that location in the hotkey list and see what the hotkey for that item is.
The workaround is to go to Preferences --> Hotkeys Options --> Export Hotkeys... then open up the exported file in a text editor where you can search it.
A quick, preliminary solution may be to just add a button in the "List Hotkeys.." window which says "Open Hotkeys list in system text editor" or something, where the user can more quickly search the list using their system text editor.
This is an excellent suggestion, thanks
