Action icons in menus

[Markus Slopianka]

In principle I like the idea.
But can the execution also work in other areas?
How many items can be grouped together in a feasible way?

Currently I have KWrite open. When I look at the Edit menu, I see:
Find, Find Next, Find Previous, Replace, Find Selected, Find Selected Backwards.
Those are six items.
It may work for three items like Cut, Copy, Paste and maybe even four (New, Open, Save, 
Save As) but six?
