I am devastated to hear that @github.com are planning to remove the command palette. This feature has been behind a feature preview flag for a while and it has been an enormous accessibility win for me as I recover from tennis elbow and can’t use a mouse. github.blog/changelog/20...

I’ve left my feedback here: github.com/orgs/communi.... I urge you to give the feature a try if you’ve never heard of it, and if you think it would be a good feature to keep then please express that in the discussion 🙏

Here are the docs: docs.github.com/en/get-start... The tl;dr is that it’s a cmd+k menu for GitHub. It lets you get almost anywhere using the keyboard and pure muscle memory. I do most of my GitHub navigation with it these days. It’s so good, so polished, so useful.

Binning it for low usage when the only people who know about it found it by chance or were told by a friend feels like such an unforced error. If I was part of the team that created it I would be updating my resume.
