Run commands in the Command Menu

The Command Menu provides a fast way to navigate the Chrome DevTools UI and accomplish common tasks, such as disabling JavaScript. You may be familiar with a similar feature in Visual Studio Code called the Command Palette, which was the original inspiration for the Command Menu.
