Commands in the command palette are quite long. Mostly this results from the plugin-name being prepended to the command name. Especially annoying with commands from a plugin with a long name.
Proposed solution
Display only the actual command name in the title. Put the plugin-name into a subtitle, maybe with a slightly smaller font and greyed out or something. (However, still keep the plugin name as matches for the search query, please. )
Hmm, to be honest, I find the first one better to scan. But that might be my personal preference, though
It might also be the emphasis of the search query in the hits that make it a bit harder to scan, as they move the focus of your eyes to that, even though it’s not totally necessary – As far as I can tell, most launcher apps do not bold the search query, for example.
Nevertheless, scannability is basically a CSS issue. Maybe indenting the subtitles or reducing the subtitle font size even further would make a difference? Or even an option to only show the subtitle on selection/hover?
It might be better to have the plugin name out to the right side of the view, so that everything is one line but the plugin name isn’t the first thing you see when you scan it. Something like
It works well if hotkey commands don’t show at the right end. In some cases they do. We will provide more flexibility to change it via CSS so you can either put it at top, bottom, or right.
