Command Palette enters the chat
The WP Minute
Introduction
The Wayfinder, which many of us think of as just a search bar, now named the Command Palette. This is something that I use quite often in D-script, Notion and my MacBook with Apple's spotlight feature. The label Command Palette isn't something that really sticks with me. It makes me wonder if Wix and Squarespace actually spend the time thinking about this at length like we do in the open source world.
