Things get a little ugly if you "Type a command name" while in a dialog (for example, the "New Tab..." dialog).

And, when in a dialog, Esc closes the command palette (when returning to the command palette was expected).

IMHO, when in a (sub) dialog (like "New Tab...") the command palette should be completely "on hold" (not showing "type a command" and not processing keys (like Esc)) until the (sub) dialog is dismissed with Esc or the back button.

It's not a sub-dialog, it's more of a set of nested commands. The same typing, filtering, and searching behavior applies to the inner commands as it did to the outer ones. It makes more sense for them to be part of the same command palette, not to put this one on hold and introduce another one that would show a different type a command... prompt in another text box.

OK ... I see. There are current_command_sensitive things that you CAN type. That's not immediately clear. At first the "type a command" seemed like a left-over from the higher level command. I understand your comments better now. What about Esc? Can it be made to go up one in the nesting?

Esc should already be doing that!
