The command palette (Ctrl K)
Search and go anywhere or to any setting without touching the mouse, and pin results to your quick access.
The palette is a search that takes you anywhere in the app and does things without touching the mouse.
Opening it
Press Ctrl K from any screen, or the magnifier in the header. A field appears with the text «Search or do…».
Note. Inside the guides themselves, Ctrl K opens the search of the guides and the settings instead of the palette.
What it finds
When opened it already shows your people and, at the bottom, the keys that drive it: arrows to move, Enter to choose, Shift + Enter to pin to quick access, Tab to switch group and Esc to close. Type a few letters and the list narrows. The result sources are:
| Group | What it brings |
|---|---|
| Go to | The destinations and screens of the app |
| Settings | Every setting and every section, with a direct link |
| Your tables | Your tables: Open the table or Copy table link |
| GM screen | The GM screen of your campaign |
| People | Those you know: you can message them from here |
With a table open, its own commands appear too (next turn, roll initiative…).
Examples
- The palette finds settings by name or related words (“contrast”, “text size”…): for example Text size lives in Accessibility and opens from here with a direct link.
- Type the name of one of your tables and choose Open the table to enter without going through Home.
- Type “guides” to open this documentation from any screen.
- With Ctrl K and a single word of what you want to do, you usually get there faster than with the mouse.
Pinning something to your quick access
On a result, press Shift + Enter to pin it to My quick access; see Quick access.
Common problems
“It does not show what I am looking for.” Type fewer letters or part of the name; settings are also found by related words (in English and Spanish).
“Ctrl K does nothing.” If your browser keeps the combination, use the header magnifier, or the “/” key outside a text field.
