Quick access to all dashboard actions through a keyboard-driven interface.

The command palette organizes commands into groups for easy discovery.

| Key | Action |
|---|---|

Enter | Execute the selected command |
Escape | Close the command palette |
| Type text | Filter commands by searching |
The palette uses fuzzy search, so you can type partial matches to quickly find commands. For example, typing "tog" will match both "Toggle theme" and "Toggle view".
Header Input Alternative
You can also type commands directly in the terminal-style header input without opening the command palette modal. The header provides:
- Autocomplete: As you type, matching commands appear in a dropdown
- Ghost text: Tab-completable suggestions appear as you type
- Direct execution: Press
Enterto run a command
Supported text commands:
new # Create a new presentation
import # Open import dialog
present <name> # Start dev server for a presentation
export <name> # Export a presentation to PDF
Start typing anywhere in the dashboard (when no input is focused) to automatically focus the header input and begin searching.
