Problem Statement
The Keyboard Shortcuts list in Claude Desktop (Cmd+/ or Help → Keyboard Shortcuts) now contains a lot of shortcuts, but there is no way to search or filter it. To find the one shortcut I need, I have to scroll and read the whole list from top to bottom, which is slow and uncomfortable.
Proposed Solution
Add a search/filter field at the top of the Keyboard Shortcuts list:
- focused automatically when the list opens,
- filters shortcuts by keyword as I type (matching the action name, and ideally the key combination too, e.g. typing "effort" or "shift+e"),
- shows only the relevant shortcuts immediately.
Alternative Solutions
Currently the only option is scrolling through the full list and reading it manually.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example
- I want to change something quickly (e.g. effort level, a pane, the sidebar) and I don't remember the shortcut.
- I press Cmd+/ to open the Keyboard Shortcuts list.
- Today: I scroll and read the whole list until I find it.
- With this feature: I type "effort" and immediately see the one matching shortcut.
