Palette Cleanse: Command Palette & Quick Open

• Open Command Palette: View → Command Palette… (⌘+Shift+P)
• Quick Open files: (⌘+P)
• Search across files: View → Search (⌘+Shift+F)

Themes and Schemes: Make it Py‑pretty

• Change Color Theme: Code → Settings → Theme → Color Theme (or ⌘+K → ⌘+T). I am a fan of:
  • “Tomorrow Night Bright”
  • “GitHub Dark High Contrast”
• Toggle icons: Code → Settings → Theme → File Icon Theme

Meet the Main Bars

• Activity Bar (left): Explorer, Search, Source Control, Run & Debug, Extensions
• Side Bar (⌘+B): Toggle via View → Appearance → Show Side Bar
• Panel (⌘+`): Problems, Output, Debug Console, Terminal (toggle: View → Appearance → Panel Position)
