My friend and colleague [Anne McCarthy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/annezazu/) recently published a [guide](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/09/12/core-editor-improvement-commanding-the-command-palette/) on what’s landing in this next iteration of the command palette. This next iteration of the WordPress Command Palette is looking so nice. New commands, a polished interface, and more accessible — what more can you ask for?

And if you’re a plugin developer, lean into [Riad Benguella’s](https://profiles.wordpress.org/youknowriad/) [WordPress Command Palette API](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/17/introducing-the-wordpress-command-palette-api/#:~:text=WordPress%206.3%20ships%20with%20a,or%20command%20%2B%20k%20keyboard%20shortcuts.) post to add your own commands, and peruse the [core commands](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/tree/trunk/packages/core-commands), straight from the source. Some days it feels like [WordPress 6.3](/wordpress-6-3/) just landed, but [6.4](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/08/22/roadmap-to-6-4/) is shaping up quite nicely. Onward!
