Command Palette

The Command Palette is the main way to access actions in Zed. Its keybinding is one of the first shortcuts to learn: {#kb command_palette::Toggle}.

To try it, open the Command Palette and type new file. The command list should narrow to {#action workspace::NewFile}. Press Return to create a new buffer.

Any time you see instructions that include commands of the form zed: ... or editor: ... and so on, it means you need to execute them in the Command Palette.
