The menubar being standardized across most apps, which enables that search function, customization of the key shortcuts for any menu item in any app, and enables the creation do their party apps that present menu items in a different way[0] is one of the most underrated features of macOS IMO. It’s the Wild West when it comes to menubars on Windows and Linux, with there being more ways to implement a menubar than... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
If you do find a way to hide app menus you might consider using Paletro or a similar extension for an automation tool, I know Alfred has a workflow for it, I'm guessing Raycast, Launchbar and maybe even Keyboard Maestro do to. An option like Menuwhere might be a better choice if you don't like typing for menu items. Source: about 1 year ago
How is performance these days? I used to use it or an alternative workflow and there was always a few second lag when I activated the workflow in each respective app for the first time after rebooting. I ended up switching to Paletro for the time being but wouldn’t mind one less thing running. Source: over 1 year ago
Another CheatSheet alternative is Paletro, a command palette with a spotlight/Alfred-like interface. It’s on Setapp, or a license is $7 . Source: over 1 year ago
Paletro is a nice (non-free) option. And it works in almost all apps. Source: over 1 year ago
Otherwise, you have the spotlight-like usual suspects Alfred and Raycast, though these apps are overkill if all you want is the command palette functionality. If that's the case, a nice option is Paletro. $7 one time license or available on Setapp. Source: over 1 year ago

P.S. Paletro by appmakes.io, the makers of Typora, works similarly by pressing ⇧⌘P but also does not handle Dockless applications. Source: almost 2 years ago

I agree with those who don't like KeyCue as an alternative due to its high price (currently about $21 USD). I ended up trying and liking Paletro instead. The shortcut to activate it is ⌃⌘P. It displays a much nicer looking, more compact scrollable and searchable window of shortcuts for the active app. Not free, but the current price is only $6.99 which is less than half the cost of KeyCue.

Paletro works wonders in this space. It’s like Alfred, but inside your application. (So I use my Alfred shortcut, with a Shift modifier.) What’s great is the discoverability this affords. And because it shows the native shortcut right there, you can learn that if you want. Or if it’s something you don’t use so often, don’t bother. https://appmakes.io/paletro. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago
Have you heard of Paletro? I believe it would fall into the "lesser known" category as well and it's quite awesome for keyboard-centric folks. You get to search and activate menu entries of the app you're using at the moment, and is more reliable than the native "cmd-shift-/" Help menu shortcut that only works half the time.
