Some shortcuts may differ if non-default keybindings are selected (e.g., Emacs, Vim, or Sublime Text).
Command Palette
A command palette is a software affordance that gives instant, searchable access to all of a program’s commands. Command palettes have become a fixture of modern IDEs, and with good reason. They improve:
Keyboard accessibility; even commands that do not have keyboard shortcuts are easily invoked from the palette.
Speed; it is often much faster to invoke a command from the palette with a few quick keystrokes than to reach for the mouse or drill into a menu.
Discoverability; since the palette lists all the commands, it can be browsed to find a command for a task by name without trying to figure out which menu or toolbar might contain it.
All shortcuts can be accessed via the Command Palette:
Show Command Palette |
Ctrl+Shift+P, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P (Firefox) |
Shift+Command+P |
It’s also available on the Tools menu (Tools -> Show Command Palette).
