Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application
This code seems to be pretty hacky, it works by injecting a dynamic library into the program and then looping on a timeout to rescan every window and attach a key handler: https://github.com/p-e-w/plotinus/blob/master/src/Keybinder....

Plotinus: A searchable command palette in every modern GTK+ application\ (10 comments)
- What are your thoughts on having the application menu on the titlebar?

Global Menu
Sublime Text is actually a good example showing that the menubar and the command palette are two unrelated things. Sublime Text implements its own command palette, which has nothing to do with the global menu on macOS. A lot of apps do the exact same thing. I don't know why people insist on tying these two features together. You can even get menubar-less GTK apps a command palette with the GTK module Plotinus, without ever having to see a menubar.

The Largest Money-Printing Element Ever Made
Pretty sure it was Nicholas Jitkoff[1] and his team. He had done Quicksilver[2] a few years back which popularized this single input interface for osx desktop.

Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
I've used Quicksilver for clipboard history historically. There is a currently a bug that I've been meaning to delve into: https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/issues/2913 but still generally usable. Particularly handy combined with adding simple AppleScript or JXA actions to manipulate the content (I have several simple ones for example to run a regex, to clean extraneous content around a number, a phone number, strip whitespace, indent 4 spaces for pasting into a markdown codeblock on SO, etc etc).
The Shelf plug-in also very handy along similar lines.

Resolving the Great Undo-Redo Quandary
For a browsable clipboard history on macOS, I recommend LaunchBar (https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/; docs at https://www.obdev.at/resources/launchbar/help/ClipboardHisto...). I used to use the Clipboard Plugin of the free and open source app Quicksilver (https://qsapp.com/), which worked fine but was slightly less streamlined. Some people prefer Alfred (https://www.alfredapp.com/help/features/clipboard/).

Shortcat – Manipulate macOS masterfully, minus the mouse
This is great. Reminds me of QuickSilver[1]. I'm evaluating HomeRow[2] for a VIM driving the Mac OS, will try this as well.
I love how:
a. accessibility features are making the OS more accessible for everyone through automation
b. good the accessibility implementation is on the Mac that most applications are inherently compatible with solutions like this.
