Personally, I struggled somewhat until I've found the Search and Run a Command action. It's bound to / on the keyboard by default I think. Otherwise accessible via Menu > Help > Search and Run a Command.

So if I'm clueless where a certain action is in the menu, I just press /, then type my action as I think it could be named, then try it out. This, together with simply my memory of how to do things, covers 97% of my needs. One time out of 20 or 50 I encounter something that I don't know, at which point I duckduckgo, and the experience can be much worse.

Would you say this flow sucks? Or actually, it's fine? It's up to you to decide that.

Using / is awesome. Even if you know where things are in the menu it's usually quicker to just type the first few letters and smash enter. I use it all the time.
