📄 Description

Summary of the Pull Request

This spec covers the addition of a "command palette" to the Windows Terminal. The Command Palette is a GUI that the user can activate to search for and execute commands. Beneficially, the command palette allows the user to execute commands even if they aren't bound to a keybinding.

Untie "active control" from "currently XAML-focused control" #1205
