Command Palette
The command palette is a quick-access search tool that lets you find anything in Seleckt without clicking through menus. Press a keyboard shortcut, type a few characters, and jump straight to what you need.
Opening the Command Palette
- Mac: Press Cmd+K
- Windows / Linux: Press Ctrl+K
A search overlay appears in the centre of your screen. Start typing to search.
Tip: Think of the command palette as your shortcut to everything. Once you get used to it, you will wonder how you ever navigated without it.
Searching
Type at least 2 characters to start seeing results. The command palette searches across 8 entity types at once:
| Entity Type | What It Searches |
|---|---|
| Galleries | Gallery names |
| Clients | Client names and emails |
| Invoices | Invoice numbers and client names |
| Contracts | Contract titles and client names |
| Quotes | Quote numbers and client names |
| Products | Product names |
| Templates | Template names |
| Payments | Payment references |
Results are grouped by type, so you can quickly scan and find the right match even if the same name appears in multiple places.
Quick Actions
Below the search bar, the command palette also offers quick actions -- shortcuts to create new items without navigating to the page first:
| Quick Action | What It Does |
|---|---|
| New Gallery | Opens the new gallery form |
| New Invoice | Opens the new invoice form |
| New Contract | Opens the new contract form |
| New Quote | Opens the new quote form |
| New Product | Opens the new product form |
| New Template | Opens the new template form |
These quick actions are always visible when the command palette opens, so you can jump to them even before you type anything.
Tip: The quick actions alone can speed up your workflow significantly. Instead of navigating to Invoices and then clicking New Invoice, just press Cmd+K and select New Invoice.
Keyboard Navigation
The command palette is designed to be used entirely from the keyboard:
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| Up / Down arrows | Move through the results list |
| Enter | Open the selected result or trigger the selected action |
| Esc | Close the command palette |
You can also click any result with your mouse if you prefer.
Recent Items
When you first open the command palette (before typing anything), you may see recent items -- things you have viewed or worked on recently. This makes it easy to jump back to something you were just looking at without having to remember its exact name.
Example Workflows
Here are a few ways the command palette fits into your day-to-day:
Finding a Client's Invoice
- Press Cmd+K.
- Type the client's name.
- See their invoices in the results, grouped under Invoices.
- Press Enter to open the one you need.
Creating a Quick Contract
- Press Cmd+K.
- Select New Contract from the quick actions.
- You are taken straight to the contract editor.
Jumping to a Gallery
- Press Cmd+K.
- Type part of the gallery name (for example, "Johnson").
- Select the gallery from the results.
