A sort of.
But directly invokable via shortcut key and with filter and/or sorting.
A (possibly long) list of text entries but you can type some characters and
it immediately filters the list to the matching entries only (as in the component/view all-dialog).
They could be sortable by last usage or lexically (or others) by the user.
Windows start menu search finally uses this too (although this has other issues).
Or a tree like list where typing takes you to the next matching entry and enter invokes it.
When programming I would not like to move away my hands from the keyboard to reach for the mouse.
That's not ergonomical.
