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 with esc.
  • The palette is also reachable from the Search… button in the sidebar and the ⌃K button 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.
  • ↑ / ↓ to move through results, ↵ to open the highlighted item — this deep-links straight to its detail drawer over the project board. esc closes the results.

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