Description
Fman has Cmd+P for files and Cmd+Shift+P for commands, simular to vscode.
However in vscode both Cmd+P and Cmd+Shift+P brings up the same box which I think is really nice. The way it work is that commands are proceeded by >. So it is possible to press Ctrl+P and then type > to get into the commands. If you do Cmd+Shift+P a > is automatically typed for you so you just have to type the command. Also if you do Cmd+Shift+P and remove the > you can get to the files.
I don't know why but I found that I usually do Cmd+P and then type a > and I miss this in fman. I guess it can be because I find Cmd+Shift+P is quite awkward to press.
Btw, in the same box vscode also supports # prefix for symbols. Perhaps that could be used for something in fman too, like if you type # it will search files instead of folders and you can hit enter to open the file.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing file search opened by Cmd+P and the command search opened by Cmd+Shift+P. Define how the > prefix switches between these modes, including removal of the prefix, and treat the proposed # behavior as a separate decision; done when the unified interaction works consistently.
