Description

One feature that I think would elevate MuseScore above all else (in my opinion at least) would be a universal command menu (like Spotlight on mac, or CMD/CTRL + K in GitHub), where the user could search for and insert symbols, text boxes, and more with the keyboard.

An example run would be:
CMD/CTRL + K (for example)
Type: "ferm"
Highlight fermata option using up and down keys
Press enter, and fermata is inserted at cursor point

This could also make it really quick and easy to open menus without using the mouse, and significantly speed up the process of finding something if you don't know where it is.

Just my opinion though, but I know that it would speed me up a TON with my notation, and also help new users to find the things they need.

Thank you for your consideration!
