Summary

Upgrade Ctrl+P into a fast launcher for commands, tools, panels, assets, and help.

Why

As editor capabilities grow, the command palette needs to become the low-friction entry point for both power users and discoverability.

Implementation notes

  • Add fuzzy matching and ranked results.
  • Include commands, tools, panels, selected assets, and help/documentation actions.
  • Use component/tool metadata for aliases and descriptions.
  • Keep keyboard navigation tight and predictable.

Acceptance criteria

  • Palette searches commands, tools, panels, assets, and help entries.
  • Results rank exact/alias matches above weak matches.
  • Enter executes, Escape closes, arrows move selection.
  • Disabled results explain why they cannot run.

Tests/docs

Unit test fuzzy ranking and command execution dispatch. Update README controls if shortcuts or visible behavior change.

Partially addressed in local commit 19c4d01 (Start M0 editor workflow polish).

Covered:

  • Command palette filter takes focus immediately on Ctrl+P.
  • First filtered command is selected.
  • Arrow keys cycle filtered commands.
  • Enter runs the selected command.
  • Escape closes the palette.
  • Mouse command clicks still work.

Still remaining for this ticket:

  • Fuzzy matching and ranked results.
  • Searching tools, panels, assets, and help entries.
  • Disabled-result explanations.

Additional partial progress in 19c4d01:

  • Ctrl+P now focuses the filter when opened.
  • First filtered command is selected by default.
  • Up/Down navigation and Enter execution work without needing to click the palette.

Remaining scope still open: fuzzy ranking, broader sources (tools/panels/assets/help), disabled reasons, match highlighting, and tests.

M0 closeout triage: basic command palette focus/keyboard navigation shipped earlier, but fuzzy matching plus tools/panels/assets/help indexing remains broader UX polish. Carrying this to M5.
