Vscode just introduced a new experimental command center feature.

Is there a shortcut for starting the command center's "Show Search Mode..."

There does not appear to be a dedicated keyboard shortcut for this as of now. Considering it is experimental, it very well could be added. The closest thing I've found was performing a "Go to File" shortcut and then typing ?.

Thus, on Windows, Ctrl + P, ?.

Ctrl + P opens the dropdown, and then the ? opens the Search Modes.

You can replace the normal title bar with the Command Center search box by enabling the VSCODE window.commandCenter setting. To enable this setting, navigate to File>Preferences>Settings, search for "commandcenter" and select the CommandCenter option. Note the caveat that the option changes the TitleBarStyle, which replaces the menu pulldowns (File, Edit ...) with a menu icon to access the menus.

FYI window.commandCenter does not seem to work if you also have window.nativeTabs enabled

I do used to open the command dialog using cmd+shift+p and there you can have the command center as your first choice.
