Inventor Search Shortcut And Better Drop Down

I am forced to transition from Solidworks to Inventor. Inventor is pretty good except for one glaring fault that massively slows my workflow: no shortcut for Search Commands.

In Solidworks, I almost never used the ribbon. I hit "S" then rapidly typed part of the command or menu that I needed then selected it with the arrow keys.

In Inventor, I have the fuzzy searching, but it's not usable with only the keyboard. The drop-down highlight is not visible so I can't select commands quickly with the arrows keys. I have to move my mouse to and from the search box constantly, making it slower than the ribbon sometimes. I am about 50% slower using Inventor compared to Solidworks because of this insane oversight. This is unnacceptable.

Is there a plug-in or ilogic to enable keyboard-only searching like in Solidworks?

Hi,

Autodesk Inventor 2024 still seems to lack that feature. Not quite understandable. It is there and yet incomplete.

How did you manage to install Autodesk Inventor (2022?) onto Mac OS using Crossover?

Best regards
