Designing Retool's Command Palette Interface Overview

As a leading platform for developers, Retool understands the importance of speed and ergonomics in its core product – an IDE. With users often working with dozens of queries and hundreds of components in a single app, the team at Retool recognized the need to streamline common workflows, such as searching for queries or finding relevant component properties.

Exploring various solutions, the Retool team ultimately settled on building a command palette – a hybrid between a pure command line interface and a more discoverable GUI.
