# Command palette

> There are two, not one — and which one you want depends on whether you're after an action or a place.

## There are two

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS">
    | Palette      | Shortcut | What it's for   |
    | ------------ | -------- | --------------- |
    | **Actions**  | `⌘P`     | Doing something |
    | **Sessions** | `⌘⇧P`    | Going somewhere |
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Windows and Linux">
    | Palette      | Shortcut           | What it's for   |
    | ------------ | ------------------ | --------------- |
    | **Actions**  | `Ctrl+Shift+P`     | Doing something |
    | **Sessions** | `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P` | Going somewhere |
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Warning>
  **If you come from VS Code, the `⇧` is swapped.** There, `⌘⇧P` is the command palette. Here `⌘⇧P` is the **sessions** one — the actions palette is plain `⌘P`.
</Warning>

It's the same dialog with two modes. At the top there are two buttons — **Actions** and **Sessions** — each with its own shortcut next to it. You can switch modes with a click, without closing.

The magnifying-glass icon in the header opens the **actions** palette.

## Navigating

| Key     | What it does |
| ------- | ------------ |
| `↑` `↓` | Navigates    |
| `↵`     | Runs         |
| `Esc`   | Closes       |

Typing filters. With no match, it says *No results.*

## The actions palette

`⌘P` / `Ctrl+Shift+P`. Four groups.

### Actions

| Item                              | Shortcut                   |
| --------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
| **New session**                   | —                          |
| **New isolated worktree session** | `⌘⇧T` / `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T` |
| **New tab**                       | `⌘T` / `Ctrl+Shift+T`      |
| **Close pane**                    | `⌘W` / `Ctrl+Shift+W`      |
| **Toggle panel**                  | `⌘B` / `Ctrl+Shift+B`      |
| **Settings**                      | —                          |

<Note>
  *Close pane* only appears when there's an active workspace. With nothing open, there's no pane to close.
</Note>

### Theme

| Item                                      | What it does                                                                                                                |
| ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Switch theme to Dark / Light / System** | The current mode doesn't show in the list.                                                                                  |
| **Use {name} theme**                      | One item per available theme — the built-in classics and the ones you imported. Only TYBA Dark and TYBA Light are left out. |
| **Import theme…**                         | Opens the file picker, filtered to `.json`.                                                                                 |

See [the themes](/en/themes/the-themes) and [import a theme](/en/themes/import-a-theme).

### Interface font

**Switch font to {name}** — the active font doesn't show.

### Language

**Switch language to {language}** — the active language doesn't show.

<Note>
  The pattern across the groups is the same: **whatever is already in effect disappears from the list**. The palette only offers change.
</Note>

## The sessions palette

`⌘⇧P` / `Ctrl+Alt+Shift+P`.

Despite the name, it lists **workspaces** — not shells. Each row carries the name, a green icon if it's the active one, and the tab count on the right.

The search matches the **name**, the **repository path** and the id. Searching by folder works even when the workspace was renamed.

`↵` goes to the workspace. It's the fastest path when the `⌘⇧↑` / `⌘⇧↓` cycle got too long — see [tabs and workspaces](/en/interface/tabs-and-workspaces).

<Note>
  With no workspace open, the Sessions mode is empty.
</Note>

## What the palette doesn't have

|                                                         |                                                                                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Split**                                               | Doesn't exist. Splitting is shortcut or right-click in the terminal only — see [split panes](/en/interface/split-panes). |
| **SSH / connections**                                   | Doesn't exist. Connecting to a host goes through the *SSH Connections* view, in the sidebar footer.                      |
| **Renaming, coloring, grouping or killing a workspace** | Doesn't exist. All of that is the [context menu](/en/interface/tabs-and-workspaces#the-context-menu).                    |
| **Switching tabs**                                      | Doesn't exist. The sessions palette goes to workspaces, never to a specific tab.                                         |
| **Chips, shortcuts, containers**                        | Don't exist. Only via *Settings* and the header.                                                                         |

<Warning>
  The palette **is not** an index of everything the app does. It covers a handful of actions and navigation between workspaces — the rest lives in the context menu, the header and Settings.
</Warning>
