Command Palette¶
The Command Palette provides fast keyboard-driven access to modules, navigation, and Proxmox VE operations — without leaving your current page.
Opening the Palette¶
| Platform | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Windows / Linux | Ctrl+K |
| macOS | Cmd+K |
You can also open it by clicking the search bar in the top header.
Navigation¶
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
↑ / ↓ |
Move through results |
Enter |
Execute selected item |
Esc |
Close palette |
Search Filters¶
Prefix your query to narrow results to a specific category:
| Prefix | Filters |
|---|---|
vm: |
VM / Container by ID (e.g. vm:100) |
node: |
Node by name (e.g. node:pve1) |
ip: |
VM / Container by IP address or hostname (e.g. ip:192.168) |
> |
Commands only (e.g. >start, >logout) |
Without a prefix, the search spans all categories: modules, VMs, nodes, and commands.
Commands¶
Commands are executable actions. Those that require parameters open a dialog before execution.
System¶
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
logout |
Log out the current user |
Proxmox VE¶
| Command | Description | Parameters |
|---|---|---|
start |
Start a stopped VM / Container | VM / CT selector |
stop |
Stop a running VM / Container | VM / CT selector |
restart |
Restart a running VM / Container | VM / CT selector |
console |
Open web console for a running VM / Container | VM / CT selector |
create snapshot |
Create a snapshot | VM / CT selector, name, description (optional), include RAM (optional) |
Console requirement
The console command requires a PAM user with credential-based access. It is not available with API Token authentication.
Results¶
Each result shows:
- Icon — colored by category (green = VM, blue = module, …)
- Title — VM ID, module name, or command prefix
- Subtitle — description or additional info
- Status badges — running / stopped, hostname, OS version, lock state
- Action indicator — dialog icon if parameters are required, or instant execution icon
Result Types¶
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Module | Application modules and navigation links |
| VM / CT | Proxmox VE virtual machines and containers |
| Node | Proxmox cluster nodes |
| Command | Executable actions |
Permissions & Cluster Context¶
- Results and commands respect the current user's permissions.
- Modules that require a specific cluster are hidden when All Clusters is selected.
- Proxmox VE commands (start, stop, …) operate on the currently selected cluster.
Roadmap¶
More commands and search providers are planned for future releases, including additional Proxmox VE operations, storage management actions, and expanded search filters.
