Command Palette
Access any action instantly with the Cmd+K command palette.
Overview
The command palette is the fastest way to navigate and perform actions in ProBeya. Press Cmd+K / Ctrl+K to open it from anywhere in the application.
Search Mode
By default, the command palette opens in search mode. Start typing to search across:
- Items across all boards
- Boards and Projects
- People in your organization
- Settings pages
- Recent items you have visited
Results appear instantly as you type. Press Enter to open the selected result, or use arrow keys to navigate.
Command Mode
Type > to switch to command mode. Commands let you perform actions without navigating through menus:

> Go to Project: [project name]
> Switch Workspace: [workspace name]
Creation Commands

You do not need to type the full command. Fuzzy matching finds the closest match. For example, typing “cri” matches “Create Item”.
Recent Actions
The command palette remembers your most frequently used commands and shows them at the top of the list when you open it. This makes your personal workflow faster over time.
Contextual Commands
Commands adapt to your current context. When viewing a board, you see board-specific commands. When editing an item, you see item-specific commands:
Keyboard Navigation

Cmd/Ctrl + K | Open command palette |
Arrow Up/Down | Navigate results |
Enter | Execute selected command |
Escape | Close command palette |
> | Switch to command mode |
Backspace (when empty) | Switch back to search mode |

Custom Commands
Admins can create custom commands that appear in the command palette for all organization members. Go to Admin > Command Palette > Custom Commands to add shortcuts to frequently used workflows, external URLs, or automation triggers.
Custom commands support variables like {current_board}, {current_user}, and {selected_items} to make them context-aware.
