Command Palette

Many interfaces nowadays implement Command Palette pattern:

Feature proposal is to add a similar Ctrl+P or Ctrl+Shift+P shortcut in Delta Chat Desktop that opens a command palette with searchable commands like:

  • Mute chat (followed by the prompt for the duration)
  • Archive chat
  • Add contact (followed by the prompt for the contact address or name)
  • Remove contact (followed by the prompt for the contact address or name)
  • Rename chat
  • Other commands relevant in the context

Such interface does not take additional space, but can provide quick access to actions and settings that are normally only accessible via multiple clicks.
