Many programs have a command palette but their keyboard shortcuts are extremely inconsistent. I propose a universal keyboard shortcuts that opens the command palette in all supported applications. It triggers on ctrl+k and sends the appropriate keystroke to the currently active applications.

To list some applications and their keybinding for their command palette:

Changeable keybinding…

  • VS Code ctrl+shift+p
  • Obsidian ctrl+p
  • GIMP /
  • Windows Terminal ctrl+shift+k

Fixed keybindings…

  • Github Website ctrl+k
  • Microsoft Office alt+q
  • Microsoft Edge ctrl+q

More applications and websites
