User Guide¶
Command Palette¶
Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on macOS) to open the Command Palette from anywhere in the application.
The Command Palette provides fast access to navigation, search, and commands — without using the mouse.
Keyboard Shortcuts¶

Search¶
Type any text to search across modules, VMs, nodes, storages, and pools.
When the palette opens with an empty query, it shows suggested modules and available commands.
Filter Prefixes¶
Use prefixes to narrow results to a specific resource type. Filters require a cluster to be selected.
| Prefix | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
vm: |
Filter by Virtual Machine or Container | vm:101, vm:debian |
node: |
Filter by Node | node:pve1 |
storage: |
Filter by Storage | storage:local |
pool: |
Filter by Pool | pool:dev |
ip: |
Filter by IP address (requires OS info) | ip:192.168 |
Filters can be combined with free text. For example: vm: debian searches for VMs matching "debian".
Commands (>)¶
Type > to switch to command mode. Commands execute actions directly from the palette.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
> start |
Start a VM/Container (shows a VM picker) |
> stop |

> restart |

Note
Commands that require parameters open a dialog to collect input before executing.
Console command — API Token limitation
The > console command is not available when the cluster uses API Token authentication.
A notification will inform you to switch to Credential access type to enable this feature.
