Description
Many times I press Cmd+Shift+P when I actually meant to press Cmd+P. I start typing the query but when I realize it's the wrong window it's too late - I have to press Esc, Cmd+P, and retype the query.
It would be useful if one of the "palettes" is open, pressing the other palette's shortcut will simply launch it (possibly with the same query already typed in), as opposed to doing nothing as it is now. This works e.g. in the Atom editor (though they have a keyboard focus bug 😉).

Research direction
Start by locating the command-palette and “go to directory” shortcut entry points in the fman codebase, then trace how each palette handles an already-open query. Check how Atom switches between palettes for comparison. Done means pressing the other shortcut opens the requested palette, optionally retaining the typed query, instead of doing nothing.
