docs: Introduce command palette earlier

…nd as early as possible

Can't get to many of the settings on linux without opening it, and can't know the default keystroke to get to it without knowing where to look first, so its a chicken-n-egg problem of needing to use a default-keystroke to set the key bindings, esp on linux.

Note that there are two keybinds for this: Ctrl+Shift+P and F1 (in case you want to list both).

Reason why that may be relevant: I've had issues with Ctrl+Shift+P due to my keyboard not supporting that specific combination when using left ctrl + left shift. There is absolutely nothing Zed can do here (I just wanted to mention it). In vscode I've circumvented this by either using F1 or by using Ctrl + P (go to file) followed by > (the latter doesn't work in Zed. Related: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/7802).

... and on my laptop, F1 by itself doesn't work, and i need to use Fn-F1 as like many laptop/s, the 'fn' keys have alternate functions like volume-up/volume-down/mute/brighter/darker , but yes, that F1, or Fn-F1 combo does seem to be an alternative that works in both Vscode and Zed, and I wasn't aware of it. :-)

Thank you! Agree that this was missing. I hopped on this branch and made some changes. Will merge once CI is through.
