The Command palette plugin lets you run any command directly from your keyboard. It also lets you explore all the available commands and their keyboard shortcuts.
To run a command from the Command palette:
- Press
Ctrl+P(orCmd+Pon macOS) to open the Command palette. You can also open it from the Ribbon with Command palette icon (
). - Type the name of the command you want to run.
- Navigate to the command using the arrow keys.
- Press
Enter.
The Command palette supports fuzzy matching, allowing you to search for commands even if you don't know their exact names. For example, typing "scf" will find the Save current file command.
As of version 1.8.3, recently used commands appear at the top of the Command palette. However, these recently used commands are still subject to the fuzzy matching algorithm. When you start filtering, shorter commands will be prioritized over recently used ones.
Pinned commands
You can pin frequently used commands at the top of the Command palette to quickly access them without having to type their name.
If you want to quickly run frequently used commands, you can also set hotkeys for them.
