Overview

The command palette is the fastest way to navigate and perform actions in Obeya Cloud. Press Cmd+K / Ctrl+K to open it from anywhere in the application.

​
Search Mode

By default, the command palette opens in search mode. Start typing to search across:
  • Items across all boards
  • Boards and Projects
  • People in your organization
  • Settings pages
  • Recent items you have visited
Results appear instantly as you type. Press Enter to open the selected result, or use arrow keys to navigate.

​
Command Mode

Type > to switch to command mode. Commands let you perform actions without navigating through menus: 
> Go to Home
> Go to Settings
> Go to Notifications
> Go to Board: [board name]
> Go to Project: [project name]
> Switch Workspace: [workspace name]

​

You do not need to type the full command. Fuzzy matching finds the closest match. For example, typing “cri” matches “Create Item”.

Recent Actions

The command palette remembers your most frequently used commands and shows them at the top of the list when you open it. This makes your personal workflow faster over time.
