Command palette
One keystroke to do anything — no menu hunting.
Opening it
Press ⌘K from anywhere in CodeGrid to open the palette, then type to filter. Results rank as you type, so a few characters are usually enough. The palette is keyboard-first: you never need the mouse to find or run an action.
TIP
Don't remember the exact name? Type what you want to do — “new claude”, “grid”, “commit” — and the closest matches surface first.
What you can do
The palette covers every command in the app. The main categories:
- Launch agents — start a new session running Claude, Codex, Gemini, Grok, Cursor, or a plain shell.
- Sessions & panes — create, close, or maximize a session, and jump focus to a specific pane.
- Switch workspaces — hop to any workspace by name, or create a new one.
- Open panels — Files, Search, Git, Settings, and the MCP manager.
- Layout presets — re-tile the canvas with AUTO, FOCUS, COLS, ROWS, GRID, or FIT.
- Run commands — toggle broadcast mode, the sidebar, and other app actions.
If an action has a keyboard shortcut, the palette shows it next to the result — a quick way to learn the bindings on the shortcuts page over time.
