Command Palette
The Command Palette is a universal search and navigation tool built into every screen of DevDash. Press ⌘K (macOS) or Ctrl+K (other platforms) to open it instantly from anywhere in the app.
Opening the palette
- Keyboard shortcut: ⌘K
- View menu: View → Command Palette…
- Sidebar: the search icon at the bottom of the sidebar
Press Escape to close without navigating.
What you can search
The palette searches across five result types simultaneously:
| Type | What's included |
|---|---|
| Navigation | Dashboard, My Day, Team, Reviews, Notifications, Reminders, all Settings pages |
| Pull requests | Cached PRs by title, repo name, and PR number |
| Tickets | Jira and Linear tickets by title and key |
| Reminders | Your reminders by title |
| Notifications | Your notifications by title and body |
Results start appearing after you type at least 2 characters. The palette debounces input so it doesn't fire on every keystroke.
Navigating results
Use ↑ / ↓ arrow keys to move between results and Enter to activate the selected item. Mouse clicks work too.
- Navigation results jump directly to that page within DevDash
- Pull request results open the PR in your default browser
- Ticket results navigate to the Dashboard with that developer selected
- Reminder and notification results open their respective detail views
Selecting a developer
The Command Palette requires a selected developer to search PR, ticket, reminder, and notification data. If no developer is selected, only navigation results appear. Select a developer from the top bar first, then open the palette.
Even without a search query, the palette is useful for keyboard-driven navigation. Start typing a page name ("team", "settings", "notifications") to jump there without reaching for the mouse.
Weekly report
The Dashboard Report button generates a Markdown summary of the selected developer's engineering activity for the current lookback period, covering PRs, tickets, docs, and review metrics. Click Copy to paste it into a message, doc, or standup update.
