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.

Makes no sense to axe it off w/o even giving it a chance to get adopted widely. I turned it on day 1 and use it everyday. Thanks for surfacing it up.
