Command Palette (Power K)

The command palette — referred to internally as Power K — is a keyboard-driven interface for executing actions anywhere in SetGet. Instead of navigating through menus and clicking buttons, you type what you want to do and the palette finds the matching command. It is the fastest way to navigate, create, configure, and search within your workspace.

Opening the command palette

Press Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+K on macOS. The palette opens as a centered modal overlay with an input field that is immediately focused.

You can also open it by clicking the search icon at the top of the sidebar.

Press Escape or click outside the modal to close it.

How it works

1. Press Ctrl+K / Cmd+K to open the palette.
2. Start typing a command, entity name, or action keyword.
3. Results appear in real time, filtered and ranked by relevance.
4. Use arrow keys to highlight a result and press Enter to execute it.

The palette combines two capabilities in one interface:

• Search — find work items, projects, pages, members, and other entities by name
• Commands — execute actions like creating items, changing settings, or switching views

When you type text, the palette determines whether you are looking for an entity or a command and shows the appropriate results.

Available commands

The command palette recognizes a wide range of actions. Below is a reference of the most common commands:

Navigation commands

Command	Action
Go to Home	Navigate to the workspace homepage
Go to Inbox	Open the notification inbox
Go to Your Work	Open the unified assigned items view
Go to [project name]	Navigate to a specific project
Go to Settings	Open workspace settings
Go to Analytics	Open workspace analytics
Go to Archives	Open archived items

Typing any project name directly also navigates to it.

Creation commands

Command	Action
Create Work Item	Open the new work item modal
Create Project	Start the project creation flow
Create Page	Create a new page document
Create Cycle	Create a new cycle in the current project
Create Module	Create a new module in the current project
Create View	Create a new saved view

Theme and appearance

Command	Action
Switch to Light Theme	Apply the light color scheme
Switch to Dark Theme	Apply the dark color scheme
Switch to System Theme	Follow the operating system preference

Workspace actions

Command	Action
Invite Member	Open the member invitation dialog
Open Settings	Navigate to workspace settings
Switch Workspace	Open the workspace selector

Context-aware commands

The command palette adapts its suggestions based on where you are in the application:

• Inside a project — project-specific commands appear first (e.g., "Create Cycle" for the current project, "Go to Modules" within the project).
• On a work item — commands like "Change Status", "Change Priority", "Assign to", and "Add Label" appear at the top.
• On the homepage — navigation commands and creation shortcuts are prioritized.

This context awareness means you see the most relevant commands first without needing to type the full command name.

Keyboard navigation

The palette is fully keyboard-driven:

Key	Action
Up Arrow / Down Arrow	Move highlight between results
Enter	Execute the highlighted command or open the selected result
Escape	Close the palette
Backspace (on empty input)	Return to the previous command scope
Tab	Autocomplete the highlighted suggestion

TIP

You do not need to type exact command names. Typing "new item" will match "Create Work Item", and typing "dark" will match "Switch to Dark Theme". The palette uses fuzzy matching.

Search within the palette

When your input does not match a command, the palette falls back to workspace-wide search, showing matching work items, projects, pages, members, cycles, and modules. This means Ctrl+K is the only shortcut you need to memorize — it handles both commands and search.

See Global Search for details on search behavior, indexed entities, and filtering.

Shortcut cheat sheet

These keyboard shortcuts work globally (when no text input is focused) and are independent of the command palette:

Shortcut	Action
Ctrl+K / Cmd+K	Open command palette
C	Create new work item
H	Go to Home
[	Toggle sidebar
Ctrl+/ / Cmd+/	Show keyboard shortcut reference
Ctrl+B / Cmd+B	Toggle sidebar

WARNING

Keyboard shortcuts are suppressed when a text input, text area, or rich text editor is focused to prevent accidental triggering. Click outside the input or press Escape first.

Customizing shortcuts

Currently, keyboard shortcuts use fixed bindings and cannot be remapped. Custom keybinding support is planned for a future release.

Tips for effective use

• Learn a few commands first — start with "Create Work Item" and "Go to [project]". Once those are muscle memory, add more commands to your repertoire.
• Use partial words — you do not need to type full command names. Typing "cre iss" is enough to match "Create Work Item".
• Stay on the keyboard — the command palette is designed so you never need to touch the mouse. Open it, type, arrow, enter.
• Use it for navigation — instead of clicking through the sidebar to reach a deeply nested project, type the project name in the palette and press Enter.
• Context matters — if you are inside a project, project-specific commands appear first, saving you keystrokes.
