## Invoke the command palette

You can invoke most features of Windows Terminal through the [command palette](./command-palette.md). The default key combination to invoke it is <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>P</kbd>. Without the command palette, you have to learn the keyboard shortcut for each feature.
