Command palette

The command palette is the fastest way to find actions without remembering where they live in the interface.

The public docs media pipeline captures the command palette against the deterministic fixture vault so command search and result ordering stay stable across refreshes.

Use the palette

Section titled “Use the palette”
  1. Open the command palette from the keyboard or app menu.
  2. Type part of a command name, such as search, graph, canvas, or task.
  3. Select the command and press Enter.

Commands are contributed by the workspace and by enabled plugins. If a command is missing, check whether the related plugin is enabled.

Context matters

Section titled “Context matters”

The palette is filtered by what the app can do in the current context. Editor commands appear when a Markdown editor is active. Plugin commands appear only after the plugin loads. Recovery and safe-mode commands can appear when startup diagnostics require them.

Use the command palette when a workflow is not worth pinning to visible chrome. It keeps infrequent actions discoverable without adding another button to the workspace.
