I would say 4.:20... this is more or less what I was suggesting, but
perhaps a little more, perhaps a little less.
- Typing 'L' would bring up all the plugins or commands that start with L
(I can not connect why would typing *'logo'* result in 3DOutline?
'*Logo*' is a part of the *description *of the 3DOutline plugin.
I might not know there is a plugin called 3DOutline, but this command bar
would suggest it to me.
- Suggestions would include searches from plugin/tool name *and*description
How would another gnome-do or launchy-like utility sit in user's

- It would be just a command-line just as in Rhino
Should this utility be a part of 'standard issue' GIMP or be something
> separate, a matter of user's preference?
- This command line could be a plugin in itself, standard issue/user
preference would be a wider debate :)
- Will it ask for some 'compliance' from GIMP and plugin developers?
>
- No, because the plugin will just use the name and description of all
currently installed plugins and tools
- Would it accept any syntax/expressions? (e.g.: "select inverse, gaussian
> blur 30px", allowing me to avoid ever increasing GUI creativity of plugin
> developers) ;)
- No... IMHO, it would be just a plugin/tool selector, so the result
would just be running a plugin or selecting a tool. (So in this view, it is
not a *command *bar, just a *selector *bar)
- Like 'thingy', this too would have to be context aware... like suggest
layer tools/plugins only when a layer is selected. But again, maybe the
context can be deducted from the existing plugin/tool information.
- The suggestion dropdown, could include a subtitle, with the
description of the tool or plugin, with the searched text highlighted.
The scope of this would be very well within GIMP :)
