I was thinking that the context menu that shows up when you press
keyboard shortcut for a bundle command that is overloaded (multiple
commands for a single keyboard shortcut) can be quite long, especially
for the git commands.
What if we (I or someone) adds a text input field to the menu which
filters the menu items. And example of this can be found in Xcode [1].
Would that be a good idea?

If you just start typing it will move the selected item (then you can just
hit enter). It's not as good as the example you showed in Xcode, so that
may still be useful, but it does help a lot.

I know about that, I still don't think it's good enough.

I’m wondering how close we are to what ⌃⌘T already does.
Main difference is that by default ⌃⌘T has more items showing (not
filtered to the key equivalent pressed) and it also lack the ability to
press 1-n to select the n’th item.

The UI is a bit more heavy. Also, since each line is taller it can't
show as many lines as the context menu.
But do you think it would be better to use the same UI as ⌃⌘T but
tweaked for this use case?

Honestly, almost every place where there is dropdown I wish it was a fuzzy
search type box.

bugger and more cluttered ⌃⌘T UI.
As of such, I’m not even sure I’d want a filter string, but it’s
worth a try, and it could be hidden until the user actually types
something.
Main downside is that we’ll be adding custom code that then need to be
kept up with new OS looks.

That's the plan.

My idea is to put an NSSearchField as the view for an NSMenuItem. I
don't think any custom drawing is required.
