Have you used the Command Palette yet?
Do you think it is useful?

Yes to both questions.
I still find myself sometimes going through the menus, and afterwards thinking "Hm, there is also the Command Palette. Should have used it, would have been quicker.". Old habits die hard.

Yes to both questions. I recently used it a lot when trying to resolve some issues with Autotagger.

Yes, it's very helpful, and even more robust than described in one of your 2023 sneak preview notes. When I first read about it I thought to myself, "There's an incredibly super-useful feature that I will never remember when I need it." So thanks not only for the Command Palette, but also for having the foresight to make it materialize when Imatch starts so people like me don't forget it exists.

You can use menus, keyboard shortcuts or the Command Palette. Whatever works most efficient for you.
<Alt>+<C> to open the Commands menu and then the one key shortcut is equally fast.

The Command Palette is great if you don't remember rarely used commands or shortcuts. Or to do things which usually would require several mouse commands or keyboard shortcuts, e.g. to open a specific option screen or run a favorite or jump to a folder or person.

Yes, I definitely need to develop the new habit...(I think it'll be Ctrl+Q for me)...

For me also.

It not only has a dedicated button on my stream deck AND loupedeck.. but has basically replaced many dedicated buttons on the device... in fact, I'm thinking of selling one of them since I reach for the command palette more than the individual buttons!

Well done!!
