The Command Palette is a good example of leverage through discoverability: one consistent interface can replace dozens of menu paths. The next gain is making command intent and shortcuts easier to learn in context.

90% of command palette usage is just typing 'reload window' when typescript dies

Good tips, but the real power move is learning the keybindings for each palette command-mousing there still breaks flow. When do you decide muscle memory is worth the setup time?

Would love to see live file previews in the Command Palette / Quick Open! Cycling through files with arrow keys and seeing a peek in the background—exactly how the theme switcher works—would make navigation so much faster. Any chance of this happening @code ? 🚀
