About
The About option display a window containing xLights release information, the official website, copyright and acknowledgements. The About window also reports the active graphics backend (for example, which OpenGL implementation is in use), which is useful when diagnosing display issues.
Command Palette
The Command Palette is a searchable launcher for almost any menu command or effect. Press Ctrl+Shift+K (Cmd+Shift+K on macOS) to open it, then start typing. The list filters with a fuzzy match as you type, and you can move through the results with the keyboard and press Enter to run the selected command or drop the selected effect. This provides a fast, mouse-free way to reach a command without hunting through the menus.
