[omnibar] Omnibar/Command bar/pallet feature

[jamessampford]

Feature Request

Adding an omnibar/command bar/pallet could be useful for having a single place for search all available commands available within an online application

This could be useful for those applications that have shortcuts to take you somewhere after pressing a combination of keys - like adding a new page within a Content Management System, or going to a settings page, or viewing the home page, or running some report

There should be an option to view available commands (without needing to type) and using the arrow keys on the keyboard to go up and down the list and manually firing off the command. These can also be filtered like search as well as being categorised

Any search could also be done via a URL if need be to search for data as well, such as the name of a page you want, or the name of a customer, or a name of a setting

I'm thinking this is a mix between a modal and search, which can have both fixed and variable results

Example

Had a little go using modal + search - http://jsfiddle.net/cL5dn0qf/2/
