Docs / Search and the command palette

Search and the command palette

Press ⌘K (or click Search or jump to… in the top bar) to open the command palette — the fastest way to move around Bedrock without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

Jump to a doc

Start typing a document’s name, path, or words from its content. Bedrock shows:

  1. Matching files — fuzzy-matched on filename, relative path, and frontmatter title. Up to 12 results; pinned docs appear first.
  2. In documents — full-text search from inside doc bodies (triggers after two or more characters). Up to 6 results, shown below the file matches.

Use ↑ ↓ to navigate, Enter to open the highlighted result, Esc to dismiss.

Example: type arch to find architecture.md, arch-decisions/0001.md, and any doc that mentions “architecture” in its body — all in one list.

Run a command

The palette also lists app-level commands:

Command What it does
New file… Open the new-file dialog
New window Open a new Bedrock window
Compose context Open the Context Composer
Open graph view Show the wikilink graph
Generate flow document Rebuild Flow.md from the workspace
Open prompts Go to the Prompts board
Manage templates Open the Templates overlay
Open settings Open Settings
Help & documentation Open the help centre
Save snapshot Take a version snapshot of the open doc
Commit changes… Open the Git commit dialog (when a git repo is detected)

Tips

  • The search index updates live, so new and renamed files appear immediately.
  • You don’t need to match the start of a word — cld matches CLAUDE.md.
  • Commands appear first when the query looks like a command name; files dominate when it looks like a filename.
  • Full-text results show a snippet of the matching line so you can verify you’ve found the right passage before opening the file.
  • The entire palette is keyboard-only: type, arrow-key, Enter, Esc — no mouse needed.
