Find Editor Tools (Unity) (Command Palette for Unity)

Adds a shortcut to unity on Ctrl+T (like 'Tools') to open a command palette that includes all commands that are available in the menu (including all the custom menu-items that are added in your personal project).

Due to thousands of Editor-Tools in our projects at Mimimi Games, we needed a way to not loose track of them and find them more quickly -- this tool is the answer to that. All code is in one file and pretty straight-forward, so feel free to adjust it to your preferences.

Features

  • Search & Execute Menu Items
  • Automatically 'Rates' items that are used more often and pushes them to the top
  • One can additionally Pin/Favorite items, so they're always shown at the top
  • One of the most important unique features is this tools' speed. There are many similar tools (including the built-in one in more recent unity-versions) which also include assets and other things, that are left out of this one on purpose, as one wants to open the palette and run tools in an instant -- not waiting seconds first for the palette to open (especially on large projects).

Usage

  • Press Ctrl+T
  • Type the name of your Menu-Item
  • Press Enter
