Command Palette & Search
Tack has two keyboard-first ways to get around: a command palette for jumping to views and running actions, and a search bar for finding items by text.
Command palette — Ctrl+K
Press Ctrl+K (or ⌘K) anywhere to open the command palette. It opens centered,
focused, and ready for input.
- Type to filter. Results are grouped into sections — Actions (New Item, New Project) and Go to (Board, List, Table, Calendar, Timeline, Sprint, Overview, Project Settings) and Workspace (All Projects, Templates, Global Settings). The available commands depend on context — item/view commands appear only while you're inside a project.
- Navigate with
↑/↓, run the highlighted command with↵, and dismiss withesc. - The palette is also reachable from the Search… button in the sidebar and the
⌃Kbutton in the top bar.
Search — Ctrl+/
Press Ctrl+/ (or ⌘/), or click the Search items… field in the top bar, to
search items by text.
- Searches run as you type (debounced) against the project you're in, or across the whole workspace when you're not scoped to a project.
- Each result shows the item's type badge, priority, and current status.

Search matches item titles (and other indexed fields) via the backend's full-text search index, so it scales to large projects.
