Windows Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0

Related doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/command-palette#command-line-mode

Doc states that

If you'd like to enter a wt command into the command palette, you can do so by deleting the > character in the text box.

But in practice, if you invoke the command palette and want to enter a wt command, there is no > character to be deleted.
On the other side, you have to add > character to enter a wt command.

We changed this recently -- it looks like the documentation update was released before the terminal update. Sorry.
