title: Command palette & Open Quickly
description: Two keyboard panels drive Termio without the mouse — the Command Palette runs any action, and Open Quickly jumps to any session, project, or file.

Termio has two overlay panels that keep your hands on the keyboard. One runs
*actions*, the other jumps to *things*. Both are fuzzy-matched, so you type a few
characters and pick from the narrowed list.

## Command Palette — `⇧⌘P`

Press `⇧⌘P` to open the Command Palette: a searchable list of every action in the
app, each showing its own keyboard shortcut. Type to filter, arrow to a command,
and press Return to run it — splitting a pane, opening Settings, toggling the
inspector, starting an agent, whatever the app can do.

<Callout type="tip">
  Hold `⌘` while pressing Return (`⌘↩`) to run a command **and keep the palette
  open**, so you can fire several actions in a row without reopening it.
</Callout>

It doubles as a way to *learn* the shortcuts: every command lists its key
equivalent right there, so the palette you reach for today teaches you the
binding you’ll reach for tomorrow.

## Open Quickly — `⇧⌘O`

Press `⇧⌘O` to jump somewhere. Open Quickly searches across three kinds of target
at once, grouped under headers:

- **Sessions** — every running session, by title. The fastest way to switch when
  the sidebar is full.
- **Recent** — projects and folders you’ve opened before, to reopen in a keystroke.
- **Files** — once you start typing, the current project’s files (from `git
  ls-files`, so ignored paths stay out), opened straight into the editor.

It’s the “jump to anything” companion to the Command Palette’s “do anything.” For
searching *inside* files rather than by name, use the inspector’s [Search
tab](/docs/inspector#search).

## Everything is rebindable

`⇧⌘P` and `⇧⌘O` are the defaults, but like every shortcut in Termio they can be
changed under **Settings ▸ Keyboard**. See [Keyboard
shortcuts](/docs/keyboard).
