Enhance the command palette
Problem to solve
We launched the addition of command palette like features inside of global search and focused on function over form. In this issue, we will refine the experience to create clear call-to-actions.
Proposal
Focus on improving presentation of existing functionality to make using the command palettes options self explanatory while also adding the option to fall back to global search when it is reasonable.
Considering swapping /
for ~
to find files in a project to prevent confusion with quick actions.
