Command palette

Feature Description

Please take a moment to check that your feature hasn't already been suggested.

I looked through the open and closed issues and user the search term "pallet" and didn't find anything

Feature request

It would be nice if Gitea also implement a command palette as it is a very efficient form of navigation and interacting with a software/website.

Rational

• help users to be much more efficient in interacting with Gitea.
• Perhaps it would also help with the server load as users don't load multiple pages to navigate but rather use the command palette to jump to repos and issues with a very minimal Ajax requests to the server.

Use cases

• jump between repos/organizations/issues/PRs
• quick search in issues/PRs
• copy close address of the current repo regardless of which subpage you are
• quick commands for issues/PRs (including close, merge, lable, assign, ...)

Implementation examples

• Softwares I know and worked with that has command palette:
  • Rstudio (Ctrl+Shift+p)
  • VScode (Ctrl+Shift+p)
  • Inkscape (?)
  • Vivaldi (F2)
• websites I know and worked with that has command palette:
  • Github (Ctrl+k)

Screenshots

No response

FYI, the spelling is palette, but there's no results for that, either.

:+1: for either a command palette, or slash commands (like in GitLab)

Particularly useful (for me) to be able to assign a user to an issue while typing up the issue, without having to switch to mouse

@lingo Thanks for pointing out my mistake. It is now corrected.

We should start small and gradually build it up, I would suggest starting with navigation like github's.

1. In GitHub, pressing ctrl-k outside the Add a comment box will show the above screenshot, then backspace will let me navigate upwards
2. But pressing ctrl-k as I'm typing comments will create a link instead of bring up the command palette
3. In Gitea, it is better as ctrl-k has no effect in the editor box, thus it should still bring up the command palette
4. I mention the above because there is a tendency for gitea to follow github and my point is that we should make the command palette work everywhere
