macOS has this in all applications. Click on search in the menu bar and start typing. You can find any menu action there, regardless of where it is buried

If you want a fun anecdote, this is how @billwurtz made all his early videos - he figured out that cmd + ? is the hotkey for the OSX help menu search bar, and he could use that to “hotkey” all the various menu items in Final Cut Express that didn’t have dedicated keybindings

But unfortunately, most applications have plenty of “actions” that don’t have a corresponding native OSX menu bar item, so they’re not accessible via this menu. It also doesn’t have any kind of fuzzy search AFAIK.

This is indeed the case with Logic Pro X. I’d estimate less than 1/4 of commands have corresponding menu items, and there’s no command palette (nor the requisite APIs/hooks for building a third-party palette). What a waste!
