23.1.1 Header command palette (Cmd / Ctrl + K)
The search box in the header is the command palette. Press Cmd+K (macOS) / Ctrl+K to open it; you can search across:
| Group | Content |
|---|---|
| Sessions | All sessions in this workspace (time-sorted, blank drafts filtered) |
| Commands | All slash commands (/new / /clear / /compact etc.) |
| Settings | 18 settings entries (Account / General / Memory / Plugins / Hooks / Agents / Skills / Messaging / Context / Tools / …, plus two one-toggle actions "Switch Language" and "Toggle Draft Paper Background") |
| Workspace / Recent | Two-line layout with split-highlighted paths |
Behaviour:
- Inside the Settings page, the search auto-narrows to settings only (placeholder changes in step). The "View → Command Palette" menu remains the full entry.
- Single-line results with hit highlighting; long titles use smart eliding — no-hit titles use middle-eliding, hit titles open a window around the hit (1/3 + 2/3 budget).
- ↑ / ↓ select,
↵execute,Escclose.
