As @westonruter suggested on the ticket, this uses the search icon in an element to open the command palette dialog.
At 31 pixels wide, it could start to break the top level, but it is not as demanding as trying to fit a fake search box that opens a real search field further down the page.

This is separate from the Search node in case someone wants to disable one and keep the other, but it is set at the same priority.

As per this comment, this would also enable the Command Palette to be made available to mobile form factors. |

I added a screengrab to the description. Also, suggested patch to show the search icon on mobile: --- a/src/wp-includes/css/admin-bar.css

It would be nice to promote the ⌘K/^K shortcut somehow as well so a user can learn they don't have to actually click on 🔍 to open the Command Palette. |

Adds a node to the admin toolbar to open the Command Palette. It uses the same magnifying glass icon from the Search form, in the same place.
