Xcode equivalent of vs code's command palette or IntelliJ's Find Action

I've decided to shift my focus (at least for my side projects) from web dev/python projects to projects targeting apple hardware. I'm very new to Xcode and apple hardware in general.

VS Code and PyCharm both have an excellent feature that allows you to quickly search for actions/commands you can run, without having to know the keyboard shortcut. VS Code calls it the command palette, PyCharm calls it Find Action.

It's a wonderful feature that lets you find settings and commands without having to know where they live in the menu, or remembering all the keyboard shortcuts, this is especially useful when you're not totally sure what you're looking for.

Does Xcode have anything like this built in?

Update: in Xcode 15 beta 5 (release notes) they added a Quick Actions feature which is exactly what you are looking for.

The search bar at the top of the Help menu is basically the same thing, though it doesn’t seem to be mapped to a keystroke for instant access.
