Have you ever searched for a menu in an application, i.e, you know the name of the menu and you know it's somewhere in the menu hierarchy, but you don't know where it is.
It's not that complicated, actually it's very easy to find a menu of an application.
You know about the spotlight of the Mac which is a great utility to search for all the files and stuffs in your machine. Fortunately, in Mac, most of the applications have their own spotlight. You can find it in the help menu of an application.
For e.g., I need to find a menu named "Create SuperClass" in the XCode, but I forgot the exact location of it in the menu bar. What I will do is, I simply open the XCode's spotlight (under the Help menu) and start to type "Create SuperClass". When I start to type, the XCode matches my search string and shows the matched menus in a list. When I hover the mouse over each item, I can see the exact location of the menu.
