How to run shell command from command palette?

[James-Firth]

I just discovered the command palette (very cool and useful for learning commands!)

However when I select the Run a shell command [:run-shell-command] option with Enter it just performs that action and says "Command Succeeded".

My expectation is I would hit enter the :run-shell-command might be displayed as the selected command prefix and I could then type the shell command I wanted to run (eg: git pull) and hit enter again for it to run. (similar to how VS Code simply prompts me again for multi-step actions)

Is there a way for me to do this from the command palette or do I need to type :sh?
I'm fine with doing :sh it's just going to confuse anyone finding the command palette I suspect.

I searched for Discussions and Issues, and tried other keys such as tab, but nothing made sense to me.

:sh is just an alias for :run-shell-command. When we execute a typable command like :run-shell-command we execute it without arguments so the shell command is empty. I opened up an issue about changing the behavior to open the command mode prompt with the typable command prefilled instead: #9584

Thanks Mike! That sounds like a great way to achieve what I was looking for
