Like the title asks; why do I have to type the greater than symbol (>) in the VS Code command palette to access commands?

It seems like work for no reason. Maybe I am missing something?

Is there a way to change some default somewhere so that I can just start typing commands after I open the palette?

Open the palette holding the right shift key (Shift Cmd/Ctrl P) and it will open already in the "command" mode instead of the file search mode.
