Command Palette

The command palette provides quick access to all app actions via a searchable list. Open it with Mod+K.

How to Use

Press Mod+K to open the palette
Type to filter commands by name
Press Enter to execute the selected command, or click it
Press Escape to close without executing

The palette uses fuzzy search — you do not need to type the exact command name, and you can type matching words in any order. For example, typing "vim" matches "Toggle Vim Mode", while "split right" matches "Split Frame to Right".

Commands you pick often rise to the top of matching candidates when you type a query (frecency ranking). The empty-palette "Recent" list is a companion behavior that surfaces your most-used commands before you start typing.

Some commands are group items (marked with a menu icon): selecting one opens a second tier of options instead of executing immediately. Press Escape in the second tier to return to the first tier, or press Escape again to close the palette.

Available Commands

Go to Inbox
Go to Archives
Go to Search
Go to Pins (one entry per configured pin)
Header Pins — a drill-down group item: selecting it opens a second tier listing every resolved header pin (default: Inbox, Archives). Selecting a pin navigates directly to it. Pins whose backing frameset cannot be resolved are excluded from the list.

Layout

Reset Panel Size
Equalize Layout
Move Note Tray Toolbar: Top / Left / Right / Bottom
Cycle Note Tray Toolbar Position
Note Tray Toolbar: Collapse/Expand (titles) — disabled when the toolbar is in Top or Bottom position

Frameset

Swap frames — swaps the two leaves of the active frameset's tree. This entry is dimmed (and shows a tip) when the active frameset does not have exactly 2 top-level frames. It is only available when the root of the frameset tree is a single split with exactly two leaf frames (no nested splits).
Change Layout — a drill-down group item: selecting it opens a second tier listing the layout modes supported by the currently active frame's provider. For example, on an Inbox frame the list contains "text editor", "timeline", and "grid". Selecting a layout switches the active frame to that layout immediately. If the active frame's provider has no layouts, a single disabled row labeled "No layouts for this frame" appears instead. Note: this item controls the frame's view layout, not the panel split geometry (the "Layout" section above governs that).

Editor

Toggle Editor/Preview
Toggle Vim Mode
Format Markdown

Kanban

New Kanban Board… — always available; opens the workspace folder picker so you can choose a folder, then opens the board — writing a fresh KANBAN.md only if the folder doesn't already have one (an existing board is opened untouched, never overwritten).

Split

Split Frame to Right / Left / Top / Bottom
Duplicate Frame to Right / Bottom
Focus Next Frame / Focus Previous Frame

Note Tray

New Note
Archive
Previous Note
Next Note
Summarized Note List
Pile View
Tidy Up Notes
Timeline View
Switch to Note 1–10
Switch to Nth Note — a drill-down group item available only when an inbox frame is active: selecting it opens a second tier listing all current notes. Selecting a note switches the inbox to that note. The currently active note is marked as "Current" in the list.

History

Note history — opens Note History for the active note. Shown only when the active frame is a Note Tray; disabled (with a hint) when cloud sync isn't enabled and unlocked.
Checkpoints — opens the Checkpoints surface. Always listed (workspace-level, not tied to the active frame); disabled (with a hint) under the same sync requirement.

App

Open Settings

Quick Actions

Open Quick Actions — open the ⚡ Quick Actions launcher.
Open Quick Actions Builder — open the editor for creating and arranging Quick Actions.
Saved Quick Actions appear in the palette by name. See Quick Actions for chains, the searchable step picker, recipes, and aliases.

When you type an alias, matching Quick Actions are placed above ordinary name and category matches. Their rows show an accent [alias] badge. A one-step Quick Action with an alias replaces the former Command Aliases entry.

Actions

Sync Now (available when sync is configured)

Move To

The palette also includes a "Move to..." sub-palette that lets you move the current note to any configured pin directory.

Shortcut Reference

Each command in the palette shows its assigned keyboard shortcut on the right side. This makes the palette useful as a shortcut reference, even if you do not execute the command from it.
