Opening the command palette#

The command palette can be opened from anywhere in the console using:

  • / (forward slash): when not focused on a text input
  • ⌘ K (Cmd+K / Ctrl+K): works anywhere, even in text inputs

Press Esc to close the palette at any time.

Contextual quick actions#

The command palette is context-aware. The quick actions shown at the top are relevant to the section you’re currently viewing:

Current section Quick actions
CDN Deploy CDN
Compute Create Virtual Machine, Manage SSH Keys, Manage Firewall Rules
DNS Create DNS Zone
Storage Create Storage Bucket, Manage Storage Keys, Storage Connection Info
Account Open Support Ticket, Manage API Keys, Manage Team, Billing, Settings, Alerts

Actions from other sections are available under Other Actions further down the list.

Jump to any section of the console instantly:

  • Overview
  • CDN
  • Compute
  • DNS
  • Storage
  • Activity
  • Usage
  • Support

Start typing to search across all commands and actions. The search matches against:

  • Command names: “Create Virtual Machine”, “Deploy CDN”, etc.
  • Keywords: “vm”, “server”, “bucket”, “domain”, “firewall”, etc.
  • Sections: “compute”, “storage”, “dns”, etc.

Keyboard navigation#

Navigate the command palette entirely with your keyboard:

Key Action
↑ ↓ Move the selection up/down
Enter Execute the selected command
Esc Close the command palette
/ Open the command palette
⌘ K Toggle the command palette (works in text inputs too)

Tips#

  • Quick navigation: press /, type “cdn” and press Enter to jump straight to CDN.
  • Fuzzy matching: search terms don’t need to be exact. Typing “vm” matches “Create Virtual Machine”.
  • Mouse or keyboard: you can click commands directly or navigate with the arrow keys. Hovering also updates the selection.
