Command palette

One fuzzy search over every command, connection, database, and collection.

Checked against v1.11.0 Updated
The command palette open on its recents: recently used favourites and tabs, with a preview of the selected one beside them and the prefix hints below
Navigation · Ctrl+K opens on your recents, and a prefix narrows the search
  • Open with Ctrl+K / Cmd+K from anywhere in the app
  • Fuzzy search over open tabs, recently closed tabs, connections, databases, collections, and favorites. Commands are reached with the > prefix and never appear in an unprefixed search
  • Tab and favorite search reads the query code as well as the title, from three characters and as a literal run of text
  • At most 50 results are listed. Above that the palette says how many matched and asks for a narrower term
  • Results are grouped by kind, ordered so the best match is the first row
  • A preview pane shows the selected result before you open it: a tab or favorite previews its code with the term highlighted, a collection its document count, size, indexes, and analyzed fields, a database its collections. Ctrl/Cmd+Y hides it
  • Prefixes narrow the search: > for commands, @ for collections, # for databases. A prefix with no term browses everything of that kind rather than searching
  • > lists only the commands runnable at that moment, with their current shortcuts, and runs one on Enter
  • With no search term, one recency-ordered list mixes open tabs, recently closed tabs, and favorites
  • Rows carry what tells them apart: the panel an open tab is in, how long ago a tab was closed, when a favorite was last used
  • Pinned collections rank above unpinned ones
  • Filter results by category, with a live count per category
  • Choosing an item switches to it, opens it, restores it, or reveals it in the sidebar
  • The selected row’s actions are listed in the footer. Ctrl/Cmd+C copies the query, or a collection’s database.collection path, without closing the palette
