I hear ya @tacotuesday, company-locked devices are a PITA.
I should note that there are currently two existing systems for invoking commands:
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Command palette
Folks have also emphasized the need for proper menus, which would add a third way to get at commands.
The OP is proposing a different method of invoking commands and plugins. Any new functionality would require further #feature-requests, either for plugins or core development.
(Unless I’ve misunderstood.)
