How to hide the "Command Palette" item from the list of actions in Monaco Editor

Question

I have been looking everywhere, Monaco docs, github, SO but there seems to be no examples as to how to hide and disable the "command palette" command from the context menu:

Any advice?

Answer 1

Oh well, I had no choice but to hack my way into the DOM in order to remove the "Command Palette".

It's very far from ideal and it also doesn't really disable the F1 shortcut but it's only thing I have for now:

private onContextMenu() {
    const menuItems = document.querySelector(".monaco-menu .actions-container");
    if (menuItems && menuItems.childNodes && menuItems.childNodes.length > 0) {
        for (let i = 0; i < menuItems.childNodes.length; i++) {
            const menuItem = menuItems.childNodes[i];
            if (menuItem.innerText.indexOf("Command Palette") !== -1) {
                // remove "Command Pallete" item and it's separator from the menu
                menuItems.removeChild(menuItem); // the "Command Palette" item
                menuItems.removeChild(menuItems.childNodes[i - 1]); // the separator item before "Command Palette"
            }
        }
    }
}

Another solution, which is not really much better than editing the dom.

When creating the editor, you may override the storage service. When F1 is pressed, the storage service look for the key commandPalette.mru.counter . If you throw an error in this case, the command palette will not be shown.

monaco.editor.create(domElement, options, {
  storageService: {
    get() {},
    remove() {},
    getNumber(key: string) { if(key === 'commandPalette.mru.counter') throw new Error(); return 0; },
    getBoolean(key: string) {},
    store() {},
    onWillSaveState() {},
    onDidChangeStorage() {},
  }
