Shows an auto-complete search form that can find macros, LAMBDA functions, files, sheets, and named ranges to help you quickly run commands, and navigate your workbooks.<\/p>\n
When you want to search for commands to run that you don\u2019t have a keyboard shortcut defined for.<\/p>\n
This brings together several auto-complete search boxes in one, while still being able to manage the searched items just like those separate search boxes (example: set\/unset keyboard shortcuts for macros or favorite them).\u00a0 This effectively makes it one super-powerful shortcut to all kinds of common commands.<\/p>\n
