# Command palette

Navigate anywhere and trigger actions instantly without reaching for the mouse.

## 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.

## Navigation

Jump to any section of the console instantly:

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

## Search

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.

> [!NOTE]
> When searching, all commands are shown regardless of which section you're in. This lets you quickly find actions from any page.

## 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.
