Command Palette

Fast, searchable set of commands for quickly taking in-app actions.

Quickly search for and execute the most important actions in the application entirely from your keyboard with Cmd K on Mac or Ctrl K on Windows.

Walkthrough

Pulling up and using the command bar

Type Cmd K or Ctrl K to bring up the command bar. Then you can start typing to search for commands.

Almost anything you can do with your mouse or keyboard shortcuts, and more, is available in the command bar.

Some commands are greyed out, with the reason shown on the row: “Requires hovering over or selecting a task”, “Disabled in the current view”, or “Cannot sort past days”.

Task actions

While hovering over or selecting a task and opening the command bar, standard task actions are available to be performed on that task, such as starting the timer, assigning a channel, etc.

Workspace navigation

The command bar can also be used to navigate and filter your workspace to different views. For example:

  • Type the name of a view like “focus” to enter focus mode
  • Type “dark” to toggle dark mode
  • Type “#” to filter by channel

You can also be taken to different places, such as:

  • Type “settings” to go to your account, workspace or calendar settings
  • Type “Help” to go to this help center
  • Type “analytics” to open your analytics
  • Type “weekly planning” or “weekly review” to start those rituals
  • Type “recently deleted” to see your trash
  • Type “support” to contact support

Search your tasks

Use the command bar as a quick way to search tasks. It shows the top 5 matches under Matching tasks; click one to open it. For a more robust search, use the search feature in the right hand panel (Cmd/Ctrl F).

Paste a link to an item from a connected tool, like a Trello card or GitHub issue, and choose Import from URL to turn it into a task. See Add via URL.

Sort your task list

Reorder the day you’re viewing by typing “Reorder”, for example Reorder by start time or Reorder by priority. You can’t reorder past days.

More info on these sorting actions can be found in the task management guide.
