Notes about the manifest

The file src/frontend/fui.jsx, in the Forge app code, implements the custom modal referenced by the command-to-open-modal module.

Note also that the shortcut property is optional. If present, it provides a quick way to navigate to the wanted destination with key presses. If not, manually opening the command palette and selecting the desired item will be required each time.

In case multiple shortcuts have the same sequence, there is no guarantee on which will be invoked.

Lastly, the keywords field is also optional. This field is only used to facilitate searching for items in the command palette; those values are never surfaced to the user.

The available icons are:

• add
