I wonder to what extent command palettes are the solution. At least for me, they are the pinnacle of discoverability. Throw the list of all settings and actions into an easily discoverable command palette and let the user search for them by filtering the list. Make it fuzzy enough to account for different formulations of the problem. VSCode does it (mostly) right.
