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

Key Action
Ctrl+K / Cmd+K Open Command Palette
Navigate results
Enter Select / execute
Esc Close

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 Stop a VM/Container
> restart Restart a VM/Container
> console Open console for a running VM/Container
> create snapshot Create a snapshot (name, description, RAM state)
> logout Logout from the application

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.
