§ Tools
Command palette.
Cmd-K navigation across projects, phases, and pages.
The command palette is the keyboard-first way to navigate SpecGraph. Open it from anywhere with ⌘ K (macOS) or Ctrl K (Windows / Linux). The search button in the top nav opens the same panel.
What's in it #
The palette searches across:
- Projects in the current workspace, grouped by their owning workspace if you belong to more than one
- Phases within the project you're currently viewing (jump straight to P-04 without going via the rail)
- Navigation shortcuts — Dashboard, Portfolio, Knowledge Base, Team, Settings
- Theme toggle — flip between light and dark
- Workspace switcher — every workspace you belong to
Results are fuzzy-matched on every word in the query. Typing arch matches "Technical Architecture"; typing port matches "Portfolio."
Keyboard #
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
⌘ K / Ctrl K | Open the palette from anywhere |
↑ / ↓ | Move selection up / down |
Enter | Run the selected action / open the selected page |
Esc | Close |
You can also click any result with the mouse.
What it doesn't do #
- Run actions other than navigation. Locking a phase, accepting a wish, etc., aren't in the palette — they live on the surfaces that own them. The palette is for getting somewhere, not doing something.
- Search across content. It searches names and labels, not the body of phase content. To find a string inside a project, open the project and use the browser's
⌘ F. - Show things you can't access. Restricted projects don't appear in your palette unless you're on their allowlist. Sensitive KB entries don't appear without a grant.
Why it exists #
After about three projects, scrolling the dashboard to find one becomes annoying. The palette is the fix — most return visits to a project should take two keypresses (⌘ K then a few letters) and one Enter.
