Why settle for a "command palette", when you could have an "everything palette"?

The previous 15 versions of RADDBG all had a command palette show up when you hit F1 (by default). I've always liked command palettes and found them preferable, in many cases, to hunting through a UI tree for something, when I roughly knew a string which described what I was trying to find. In the next version, this will be replaced by an "everything palette", which lists commands, but also functions, recently opened files, recently opened projects, settings (global, window, and per-tab, including custom ones defined by visualizers), and so on.

Crucially, none of this is special-cased. The options which show up when you right-click a tab will automatically show up in the palette. Or, put differently, a tab's right-click menu is simply a specialization of a unified underlying UI path. Similarly, the function palette is a specialization of the everything palette.

You may notice that the tab-right-click menu now looks an awful lot like a hover-evaluation, or a breakpoint-right-click menu. Or, in fact... a watch window. That is because they *are* all watch windows. :)

Why doesn't raddbg remember my target on a project? Every time I open the project I have to add the target again by fully writing the path

It should be auto saved to your project file. Can you send me the user and project files that you’re using?

Does RADDBG currently have support for some natvis-like functionality? Like automatically setting up custom views for `TArray<>` in Unreal (or similar).

This is coming in the next release.

So satifying. Also hard agree command pallets are much more intuitive to hunting and pecking buttons. For decent programs, often art programs, they often let you setup your own hotkey "panels". and that's cool too.

This is so much better; one thing that drives me insane about Sublime Text is that some things are only accessible from the menu bar, not the command palette ...
