The command palette feature (activated with the > prefix) can be used to search and execute built-in or plugin commands. Note:
- Some commands may fail to execute, or give an error
- Some command names might differ from how they appear in MusicBee's context menus
If you find inconsistent command names or broken commands, you can create an issue here.
If you experience any slowness (i.e., either the startup or the search after a character is typed does not complete instantly), then please create an issue on github (also mention your library statistics). There are a few easy ways to make it faster which I haven't bothered to implement because the performance on my small personal library (~11000 tracks) as well as on a synthetic library of 1000000 tracks is good.
