sanskrit-lexicon/csl-orig#319 (comment) suggested that we can search for patterns suggestive of verbs. This issue is devoted at refining that discussion.
According to me, the following filters will give us missing verbs, if any.

  1. The headword should have only one vowel. (There are only 5-6 verbs which have more than two vowels).
  2. The explanation should hav 'to in explanation. It may vary from dictionary to dictionary. But should be uniform across dictionary.

The headword should have only one vowel

The one thing this misses is denominative verbs, which often have more than one vowel. In MW, there are about 1000+ of these.

In the digitization of mw (mw.txt) there is markup of the form <info verb="X" .../>.

This includes all types of verbs in mw, including prefixed verbs.

mwverbs2.txt (along with mwverbs.txt and mwverbs1.txt in the same folder) provides a useful extraction of this information.

So far, verbs have been identified in 14 16 dictionaries and mapped to verbs in mw.

Please see sanskrit-lexicon/MWS#75 for initial results on aggregating the verb identification.

dictionaries and mapped to verbs in mw.

Was not aware of how wide it has gone. PWG to MW mapping - one of the most wanted in the past. Now SKD to VCP mapping which @Shalu411 is doing slowly is a major one, that could move us closer to a state, where we have a list of verbs for every dictionary.
@funderburkjim is there an HTML page with all MW verbs linking to https://www.sanskrit-lexicon.uni-koeln.de/scans/MWScan/2020/web/index.php articles?

list of verbs for every dictionary

Please see sanskrit-lexicon/MWS#75.

And, be sure to check out this html page: verbs1_merge1_1v.html, which is the best summary so far of the verbs in various dictionaries.

Could I ever wished it? No, but here it comes.
