Command Palette in VS Code (Linux)
Press Ctrl + Shift + P to open a list of every command and run one by typing part of its name.
What it does
The Command Palette lists every command of the editor and of the installed extensions. Type a few letters of what you want, such as "format" or "rename", pick the command and press Enter. Each entry shows its own shortcut beside it, so the list also teaches you the keys for the commands you run often. A command that has no shortcut is still reachable here.
