It's also possible to run commands from Quick Open with run-commands-view.openAsQuickPick command:

"run-commands-view.commands": {
	// Place commands here
},

The simplest example (string):

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
	"zapcolor": "#fff000",
},

Specifying arguments (object):

	"command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
	"args": { "snippet": "text" }
},

Running multiple commands in sequence (array of strings)

"⏳ Delay": [
	"workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility",
	{

	}
