Unity 7 HUD could search the menubar of any application. I was quite good at guessing the name of the function I wanted, far better than I was at finding it in menus. It looks like MATE, XFCE and i3 still have this.

The global menu top-bar and the HUD application search was what I missed most when I went with the flow and settled in GNOME >36ish.

Here some more screenshots for the uninitiated (with search used on GIMP in the first two screenshots): https://imgur.com/a/5XlgTO3

And the official docs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD
