You can navigate, search, and run commands on GitHub with the GitHub Command Palette. The command palette is an on-demand way to show suggestions based on your current context and resources you've used recently. You can open the command palette with a keyboard shortcut from anywhere on GitHub, which saves you time and keeps your hands on the keyboard.

When you open the command palette, the suggestions are optimized to give you easy access from anywhere in a repository, user account, or organization to top-level pages like the Issues page. If the location you want isn't listed, start entering the name or number for the location to refine the suggestions.

The ability to run commands directly from your keyboard, without navigating through a series of menus, may change the way you use GitHub. For example, you can switch themes with a few keystrokes, making it easy to toggle between themes as your needs change.

When you open the command palette, it shows your location at the top left and uses it as the scope for suggestions (for example, the mashed-avocado organization).
