Is there a way to increase the width of the command palette in vscode

When searching for a type, ctrl-t, the width is not sufficient to read the full path for a given type. Thats why I thought it could help to increase the palette size. But I did not find a tool that allows that. Anybody, please?

In the meantime I started using be5invis.vscode-custom-css (https://github.com/be5invis/vscode-custom-css) which is quite similar to CustomizeUI and also requires admin privileges to change a globally installed VsCode.

The most important feature: It is compatible with VSCode >= 1.58

Here is the content of the file I am importing with vscode_custom_css.imports:

.quick-input-widget {
    width: 80% !important;
    max-width: 1400px !important;
    left: 50% !important;
    transform: translate(-50%, 0) !important;
    margin-left: unset !important;
}

Now I have a wider command palette available.

I was looking for the same thing, there's a request to add it but there's a work-around if you have the Customize UI extension installed. See the issue here, specifically this part. Below is what I went with

"customizeUI.stylesheet": {    
     ".quick-input-widget": "width: 75% !important;  left: 25%;"
},
