Command Palette
Every action, one keystroke away.
The problem
Deep menus make frequent actions slow to reach, forcing you to hunt through nested UI for something you do all the time.
The solution
A fuzzy-searchable palette lists every command, navigable by keyboard.
Experiment

How it works
- The palette opens from the keyboard, over whatever the user is doing.
- A typed query filters the full command list.
- Matching is fuzzy, so the user does not need the exact name.
- Arrow keys move through the results without leaving the keyboard.
- Enter executes the highlighted command and closes the palette.
