# The command palette

> One box that searches pages, tools, problems, people, your own work and these docs - the filters, the prefix accelerators, and what it remembers.

Press `⌘K` anywhere - `Ctrl K` on Windows and Linux. It is the
fastest route to anything on Revquix, and the one shortcut worth learning on day one.

## What it searches

Everything, at once: pages, tools, coding problems and tracks, mentors and people, blog posts and
services, your own projects and canvases, these docs, and actions like switching the theme.

Results are grouped, so you can tell a tool from a person without reading the label.

## Narrowing it down

Chips along the top filter by kind. Each also has a **prefix** you can type instead, once you know
it:

| Filter   | Type |
| -------- | ---- |
| Actions  | `>`  |
| Pages    | `/`  |
| Tools    | `~`  |
| People   | `@`  |
| Practice | `!`  |
| Content  | `#`  |
| Docs     | `?`  |

> **Note** - The chips came first, the prefixes are the accelerator
>
> An earlier version had only the prefixes, and almost nobody found them - a shortcut you cannot see
> is not a feature. The chips are the discoverable version; the prefixes are there for when you have
> learned them.

So `? refund` searches only the documentation, and `@ priya`
only people.

## What it remembers

Open it having typed nothing and it shows what is useful rather than an empty box:

- **Where you left off** - what you were last working on.
- **Recent pages** and **recent searches**.
- **Suggestions for the page you are on**, including the guide that explains it.

## Keyboard only

Arrow keys move, `↵` opens, `Esc` closes. You never need the
mouse.
