We should build a command palette, that will open anywhere in Kibana with a specific shortcut. You can search in this Command Palette for specific actions you can do on the current screen and also some global navigation links to jump to other applications/screens within Kibana.
I've created a small proof of concept in my commandpalette-poc branch, and demonstrate the usage in the following screencast:
Which each command you register, you should be able to specify a shortcut for that action. The command palette will take care of executing that command when you press it, and also showing the shortcuts, so users can learn them:
For proper accessibility (and thus usability) every feature should be able to be used by mouse and keyboard, meaning we should never make the command palette the single place to access a specific functionality, but always also provide a UI for it.
There are a few things to think about how these should work to provide the best usability:
