Command Palette: Add command that lists all possible commands/actions

[liviopv]

What problem does this address?

It's unclear what the Command Palette can do, and the guidance offered after triggering is minimal ("Type a command or search"). Curiosity goes a long way but it takes several queries to understand what it can or cannot do, which might provide enough friction to its usage.

What is your proposed solution?

It would be cool to have something similar to the wp help command in CLI. Typing 'help' or maybe "command" would provide a curated list of available commands based on the current context, and a link to an external resource documenting all possible commands.

I agree! I think this would be rad to see all listed and make it more intuitive to use. @youknowriad in case this is easy to implement for 6.3.

There's a lot of commands that are dynamic: depend on the context, depend on what is being typed... So it's not really similar to wp help

Given @youknowriad's comment and the fact that Beta 4 is tomorrow, I don't think this enhancement should be considered for 6.3. @annezazu thoughts?

[annezazu]

I agree. Moving out of the board and leaving open for future discussion.

It could be useful to have a way to see all available commands, within the context you're in. Not sure what the trigger should be to invoke it though.

I just ran into this too. It would be nice to be able to see all registered commands.

Noting that this came up in the twenty fifth call for testing for the FSE Outreach Program:

I typed help and no results were found. Typing help it could perhaps be helpful to have a doc page show up that one can click and have it open in a new tab. I typed options and nothing showed up. Upon having typed only optio then the Open editor preferences showed up.
