Below, you'll find tables listing the commands you can use in the command palette. We put optional characters in square brackets to indicate that you can omit them.

> **Note**: We don't emulate the full power of Vim's command line yet. In particular, commands currently do not support arguments. Please [file issues on GitHub](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed) as you find things that are missing from the command palette.

### File and window management

This table shows commands for managing windows, tabs, and panes. As commands don't support arguments currently, you cannot specify a filename when saving or creating a new file.
